FOR  DEEJAYS 


Jerry  Butler’s  music  career  has  al- 
ways been  a means  to  an  end — the 
bakery  business — and  even  with  a top 
ten  hit — “He  will  Break  Your  Heart” 
— the  young  star  still  professes  a 
stronger  interest  in  pastry  baking. 

Born  December  8,  1939  in  Sun- 
flower, Miss.,  he  moved  to  Chicago  as 
an  infant.  At  seven  he  joined  a church 
choir  as  a soprano  and  graduated  to 
a baritone  with  the  Northern  Jubilee 
Gospel  Singers  at  twelve,  remaining 
with  that  group  for  three  years. 

Music  became  subordinate  to  edu- 
cation during  the  next  few  years, 
after  which  he  joined  a group  called 
the  Impressions  in  1957.  Local  jobs 
followed  and  then  a discovery  by  Vi 
Muzinski  when  the  group  appeared  at 
a fashion  show.  She  brought  them  to 
Vee-Jay  Records  where  they  re- 
corded “Precious  Love,”  a Butler 
original.  “He  Will  Break  Your  Heart” 
marks  Jerry’s  emergence  as  a single 
act. 


Bert'  Kaempfert 


A skilled  composer,  arranger,  con- 
ductor and  musician,  Bert  Kaempfert 
is  now  making  his  mark  upon  the 
American  record-buying  public  with 
his  recording  of  “Wonderland  By 
Night”  after  many  years  as  a top 
name  on  the  German  market. 

Kaempfert  was  born  in  Hamburg 
and  spent  his  childhood  becoming 
proficient  on  the  saxaphone,  clarinet, 
piano  and  accordion.  He  made  his 
professional  debut  with  Hans  Busch’s 
orchestra  on  a radio  program  in 
Danzig.  The  war  interrupted  his  ca- 
reer but  after  returning  home  he 
formed  his  own  band  and  spent  the 
next  few  years  travelling  through 
Germany  creating  a demand  for  his 
music.  In  1950  he  settled  permanently 
in  Hamburg  and  singled  with  the 
Polydor  label.  Polydor  releases  his 
records  in  Europe  while  Decca  has 
release  right  to  his  work  in  the  U.S.

Pick  of  the  Week 


“BLUE  TANGO”  (1:58)  [Mills  ASCAP— Anderson] 

“WILLIE”  (1:55)  [Jec  BMI— Black] 

BILL  BLACK’S  COMBO  (Hi  2027) 

Black,  one  of  the  most  consistent  instrumental  hit-makers  on  the  wax 
scene  today,  comes  thru  with  a hot  follow-up  to  his  current  biggie,  “Don’t 
Be  Cruel.”  This  time,  it’s  the  Leroy  Anderson  classic,  “Blue  Tango,”  that 
Black  and  crew  cha  cha  up-date  in  their  inimitable  manner.  Coupler’s  a 
fetching  blues  shuffler. 


“RUBBER  BALL”  (2:17)  [Arch  ASCAP— Orlowski,  Schroeder] 
“EVERYDAY”  (2:10)  [Peer  Int’l  BMI— Petty,  Hardin] 

BOBBY  VEE  (Liberty  55287) 

Vee,  who  broke  into  the  ‘really  big  time’  with  his  new  version  of  “Devil 
Or  Angel,”  should  bounce  right  back  into  ‘top  tensville’  with  his  latest 
for  Liberty.  And  his  bouncin’  vehicle  is  an  up  beat  love  charmer  appro- 
priately tagged  “Rubber  Ball.”  Reverse  etching’s  a warm  revival  of  the 
Buddy  Holly  chart-maker,  “Everyday.”  It  too,  can  happen  big. 


“THE  PUPPET  SONG”  (2:20)  [Debmar  BMI — Marcucci,  DeAngelis] 
“A  PERFECT  LOVE”  (2:19)  [Debmar  ASCAP— Wisner,  Marcucci, 

DeAngelis] 

FRANKIE  AVALON  (Chancellor  1065) 

The  teen  idol  aims  at  both  kiddie  and  teen  markets  with  this  delightful 
seasonal  novelty  that  could  continue,  chart-wise,  into  the  post-Xmas 
period.  It’s  a captivating  entry  tagged  “The  Puppet  Song,”  that  Avalon 
(and  a host  of  voices)  tenderly  pipes.  More  lovely  sounds,  at  a faster 
pace,  on  the  “Perfect  Love”  portion.  Strong  support  by  the  Peter  De- 
Angelis group. 


“IF  I KNEW”  (2:47)  “THE  WORLD  IN  MY  ARMS” 

(2:02) 

[Frank,  Rinimer  BMI — Wilson]  [Sweco  BMI — Sherman,  Keller] 

NAT  KING  COLE  (Capitol  4481) 

Looks  like  the  chanter  has  two  more  tunes  to  add  to  his  long  list  of  chart 
credits.  Both  are  ballad  beauts  that  have  that  expert  Cole  touch.  They’re 
the  slow  paced  “If  I Knew”  (from  the  musical,  “The  Unsinkable  Molly 
Brown”)  and  subtle  Latin  beat  affair,  “The  World  In  My  Arms.”  Ralph 
Carmichael’s  crew  grabs  orchestral  credits  on  the  former  while  Dave 
Cavanaugh  does  likewise  on  the  latter. 


“ONE  MORE  CHANCE”  (2:36)  “BEFORE  I FALL  IN  LOVE 
[Brenda  BMI— Otis]  AGAIN”  (2:28) 

Play  BMI — Otis,  Benton] 
CLYDE  McPHATTER  (Mercury  71740) 

Clyde’s  newest  Mercury  pairing  has  what  it  takes  to  make  it  up  the 
hit  listings  side-by-side.  One  end,  “One  More  Chance,”  is  a beat-ballad 
powerhouse  that  has  the  dramatic  flavor  of  his  while-back  “Without 
Love”  click.  On  the  other  end  the  songster  displays  his  stand  out  rhythm 
stylings  as  he  zestfully  belts  out  the  up  beat  “Before  I Fall  In  Love 
Again.”  Top  drawer  ork-choral  support  by  the  Belford  Hendricks  outfit. 


“MISTER  LIVINGSTON”  (3:54)  [Pattern  ASCAP— Darian, 
DeLory,  Van  Winkle] 

“ROLLER  COASTER”  (2:53)  [Darian,  DeLory,  Van  Winkle] 
LARRY  VERNE  (Era  3034) 

Verne’s  sick  comedy,  that  met  with  tremendous  success  on  the  wax 
scene  via  his  “Mr.  Custer,”  pops  up  again  on  this  offering.  On  this  one, 
“Mr.  Livingston,”  Larry  plays  the  part  of  Stanley  (the  famed  African 
explorer).  Gimmicks  and  laughs  galore.  “Roller  Coaster”  is  a straight 
recitation  (plus  other  voices  and  sounds)  that’s  also  sure  to  split  sides. 


“WALK  SLOW”  (2:40)  “YOU  HURT  ME”  (2:59) 

[Bejo  BMI — John,  John]  [Bejo  BMI — John,  John] 

LITTLE  WILLIE  JOHN  (King  5428) 

Little  Willie  John,  who  just  added  “Sleep”  to  his  hit  record  collection, 
comes  thru  with  two  more  winners  here.  One  side’s  an  easy-goin’  ro- 
mancer on  which  he  tells  his  gal  to  “Walk  Slow”  (don’t  run  away  from 
love).  On  the  other  half  a hard  beat-ballad  blueser  he  tearfully  wails 
“You  Hurt  Me.”  Potent  ork  support  on  both  lids. 

Illllllliillllll! 


THE  DAPPERS  (Epic  9423) 

(B)  “MY  LOVE  IS  REAL”  (2:18) 
[Blackwood  BMI — Cromwell] 
The  unbilled  lead  is  the  fine  feature  of 
this  tender  blueser.  Support  employs 
strings  and  other  songsters  with  a 
solid  teen-beat  sound. 

(B)  “BABY  YOU  KNOW  YOU’RE 
WRONG”  (2:22)  [Blackwood 
BMI — Cromwell]  Spotlight  songster 
and  rest  of  team  do  a hearty  blues- 
rock  job  on  the  basic  upbeat  blues 
item.  Bright  work. 


DAVID  ROSE  ORCH.  (MGM  12965) 

(B+)  “THEME  FROM  BUTTER- 
FIELD 8”  (2:56)  [Robbins 
ASCAP — Kaper,  David]  The  lush 
Rose  crew  does  an  attractive  mood 
stint  on  the  wistful  pic  theme.  Hand- 
some instrumental  showcase  for  the 
number. 

(B)  “BONANZA”  (1:37)  [Living- 
ston ASCAP — Livingston,  Ev- 
ans] A rollicking  “western”  format 
for  the  TV  main-title. 


SPENCER  ROSS  (Columbia  41877) 

(B+)  “THEME  FROM  ‘MY  THREE 
SONS’”  (2:09)  [Don  Michael 
BMI — DeVol]  Catchy  ditty  from  the 
Fred  MacMurray  TV’er  receives  a 
brisk  continental-like  arrangement 
from  the  sax-led  crew  which  hit  awhile 
back  with  “Tracy’s  Theme”  (from  the 
TV  version  of  “Philadelphia  Story”). 

(B)  “HEAVEN  CAN  WAIT  (Mis- 
ter Jordan)”  (2:05)  [Alsam 
BMI — -Cobert]  A lazy,  bluesy  theme 
from  last  week’s  CBS-TV  spectacular. 


DEANE  HAWLEY  (Dore  577) 

(B+)  “RAINBOW”  (2:06)  [Robbins 
ASCAP — Hamilton]  Songster 
Hawley,  who  shared  in  the  recent 
“Look  For  A Star”  success,  revives 
the  several  seasons  back  hit  with  nice 
light-beat  flavoring.  Attractive  com- 
bo-chorus support., 

(B)  “HEY  THERE”  (2:08) 
[Frank  ASCAP — Adler,  Ross] 
A shuffle-beat  reading  of  the  “Paja- 
ma Game”  ballad. 


THE  FOUR  PREPS  (Capitol  4478) 

(B+)  “I’VE  A’READY  STARTED 
IN”  (1:58)  [Frank  Rinimer 
ASCAP — Willson]  The  popular  teen- 
market  songsters  pleasingly  render 
one  of  the  pretty  ballads  from  the  new 
musical,  “The  Unsinkable  Molly 
Brown.” 

(B)  “BALBOA”  (2:34)  [Manistee 
BMI — Larson,  Belland]  Bright 
shuffle-beat  doings  by  the  team. 


ROSEMARY  CLOONEY 
(RCA  Victor  7819) 

(B)  “HEY,  LOOK  ME  OVER” 

(2:14)  [Edwin  H.  Morris 

ASCAP— Leigh,  Coleman]  Lively  and 
tuneful  march  ditty  from  the  soon- 
due  B’way  musical,  “Wildcat,”  gets 
a properly  bright  session  from  the  vet 
lark  and  Jimmie  Haskell  ork. 

(B)  “WHAT  TAKES  MY 

FANCY”  (2:08)  [Edwin  H. 
Morris  ASCAP — Leigh,  Coleman]  An- 
other sunny  from  the  production  is  re- 
lated with  spirit.  Two  takes  for  good- 
time spins. 


KITTY  WHITE  (Dot  16157) 

(B)  “WINGS  OF  A DOVE”  (2:15) 
[Bee  Gee  BMI— Ferguson] 
Ferlin  Husky’s  current  country  click 
gets  a good  pop  display  from  the  lark 
and  the  Bill  Vaughn  ork-chorus  set- 
ting. Waltzer  is  catchy. 

(B)  “WIMOWEH  (The  Lion 
Sleep)”  (2:31)  [Sun-Vine 
BMI — Lyrics  & Adapt.  White]  The 
familiar  “call”  is  colorfully  handled. 


THE  LITTLE  SISTERS 

(Parkway  815) 

(B+)  “THE  TWIST”  (2:15)  [Jay  & 
Cee  BMI — Ballard]  The  Little 
Sisters  are  Chipmunk-like  voices  who 
answer  Chubby  Checker’s  big  hit  on 
the  same  label.  In  fact,  Checker  him- 
self has  a bit  here.  Might  get  the 
sound  around  anew. 

(B)  “THE  PONY”  (2:28)  [Kal- 
mann  ASCAP — Mann,  Appell] 
The  voices  offer  a giddy-yap  rock  nov- 
elty. 


THE  SWE— DANES 
(Warner  Bros.  5182) 

(B+)  “HEY,  LOOK  ME  OVER” 
(1:48)  [E.  H.  Morris  ASCAP 
— Coleman,  Leigh]  The  delightful 
Swedish  vocal-instrumental  trio  get 
the  spirit  of  the  sunny  marcher  from 
the  upcoming  B’way  musical,  “Wild- 
cat.” Engaging  sound. 

(B)  “WHEN  YOUR  TIME 
COMES  TO  GO”  (2:20)  [Su- 
chan  ASCAP — Asmussen,  Elvin]  A 
happy  live-till-you-die  effort  from  the 
crew. 


DINAH  SHORE  (Capitol  4476) 

(B)  “I  AIN’T  DOWN  YET”  (2:38) 

[Frank  Rinimer  ASCAP — 
Willson]  Thrush  chants  along  with  the 
ork-chorus  in  this  sparkling  view  of 
the  engaging  item  from  the  “Molly 
Brown”  song-and-dancer.  Good  for 
bright-spot  spins. 

(B)  “I  GOTTA  LOVE  YOU” 

(2:13)  [Manchester  ASCAP— 
Freeman,  Brown]  The  performer  vo- 
cals this  sly-beat  blueser. 


ART  MOONEY  (MGM  12957) 

(B+)  “I  AIN’T  DOWN  YET”  (2:44) 
[Rinimer  ASCAP— Willson] 
Mooney’s  ork-chorus  provides  an  ap- 
propriately rousing  march-type  treat- 
ment of  the  tuneful  “Molly  Brown” 
musical  ditty.  Fine  sunny  sound. 

(B)  “’TIL  TOMORROW”  (2:16) 
[Sunbeam  BMI  — Harnick, 
Bock]  The  charming  waltzer  from 
“Fiorello!”  gets  a light-beat  produc- 
tion. 


AL  TOUSAN  (Seville  110) 

(B-f)  “BACK  HOME  IN  INDI- 
ANA” (2:08)  [Shapiro  Bern- 
stein ASCAP — MacDonald,  Hanely] 
The  sturdy  receives  a good-sounding 
pounding  arrangement,  with  pianist 
Tousan  and  a saxist  heading  the  dis- 
play. A product  solidly  in  the  teen- 
groove. 

(B)  “NAOMI”  (2:09)  [Tideland 
BMI  — Toussaint]  Light- 
hearted, continental-type  name-song 
is  amiably  handled.

of  the  Week 


“FOLLOW  ME”  (2:40)  [Chappell  ASCAP— Lerner,  Loewe] 

“RAMONA”  (2:20)  [Leo  Feist  ASCAP— Gilbert,  Wayne] 

TONY  BENNETT  (Columbia  41878) 

This  typically  polished  ballad  stand  by  Tony  Bennett  can  develop  into 
the  artist’s  strongest  chart  item  in  the  past  few  months.  It’s  a splendid, 
straght-forward  vocal  “Follow  Me,”  a beautiful  tune  from  the  forth- 
coming Lerner-Loewe  “Camelot”  score.  The  lovely  oldie,  “Ramona,”  is 
done  up  in  similar  vein  on  the  undercut. 


“WHAT  AM  I GONNA  DO”  [Aldon  BMI— Sedaka,  Greenfield] 

“AM  I”  [Jaycee  BMI—] 

JIMMY  CLANTON  (Ace  607) 

What  should  easily  be  Clanton’s  next  big  chart  showing  is  his  w^axing  of 
“What  Am  I Gonna  Do.”  Deck’s  an  inviting,  slightly  up  beat  romantic 
opus  that  could  be  on  its  way  in  the  weeks  to  come.  Under  half,  “Am  I,” 
finds  Jimmy  in  a warm,  soft  beat-ballad  pose.  Upper  end  carries  all  the 
weight. 


“YOUR  OTHER  LOVE”  (2:41)  [Brittany  BMI — Pomus,  Shuman] 
“LOVERS  GOTTA  CRY”  (2:03)  [Home  Folks  BMI — Pomus,  Shuman] 
THE  FLAMINGOS  (End  1081) 

Artists,  currently  kicking  up  a chart  fuss  with  the  oldie,  “When  I Fall 
In  Love,”  dish  up  a chart-contending  newcomer  this  time  out.  Tune, 
tabbed  “Your  Other  Love,”  is  a tantalizing  cha  cha  romancer  from  the 
“Save  The  Last  Dance  For  Me”  school.  Can  step  way  out.  The  very  pretty 
beat-ballad  “Lovers  Gotta  Cry”  makes  for  a powerful  companion  piece. 


THE  BLUE  FLAMES  (Strand  25023) 

(B+)  “BOWLING  U.S.A.”  (2:07) 

[Wyndham  Associates  BMI  — 
Stallman,  Jacobson]  A rockin’  novelty 
about  a guy  who  says  he  isn’t  strong 
enough  to  lift  the  bowling  ball.  The 
boys’  attack  is  backed  now-and-then 
by  the  sound  of  bowling  ball  hitting 
its  mark.  Could  get  around. 

(B)  “POSSUM”  (2:12)  [Wynd- 
ham Associates  BMI — Kent, 
Hood,  Reyer]  The  combo  takes  a 
catchy  theme  for  a fine  pound-rock 
ride. 


HOAGY  LANDS  (Judi  054) 

(B+)  “(I’m  Gonna)  CRY  SOME 

TEARS”  (2:37)  [Robert  Mel- 
lin  BMI — Russell,  Medley]  Fine  quick- 
beat  R&B-styled  affair.  The  pro  Lands 
vocal  is  backed  by  a steady  upbeat 
choo-choo  sound  from  the  musicians- 
chorus.  Should  greatly  please  the  kids. 

(B)  “LIGHTED  WINDOWS” 
(2:40)  [Robert  Mellin  BMI — 
Russell,  Medley]  Semi-emotional  soft- 
beat  blues  ballad.  Good  teen  work. 


ALLEN  ORANGE  (Minit  615) 

(B+)  “JUST  A LITTLE  LOVE” 
(1:44)  [Minit  BMI — Nelville] 
An  R&B-styled  rock-a-string  rhythmic 
in  which  Orange  does  a fine  job  on  the 
tuneful  opus.  Lots  of  kids  will  go  for 
this  catchy  cut.  Imperial  distributes 
the  label. 

(B)  “FOREVER”  (2:27)  [Minit 
BMI — Orange]  The  artist 
brings  a sincere  romantic  voice  to 
the  pretty  affectionate. 


TRINI  LOPEZ  (King  5418) 

(B)  “THEN  YOU  KNOW  (You’ve 
Been  In  Love)”  (2:19)  [Lois 
BMI — Carrell]  Vocal  brings  an  ex- 
pressive touch  to  the  tender  roman- 
tic. Combo-chorus  backing  plays  a 
nice  soft-beat  game.  Kids  will  feel 
for  the  take. 

(C+)  “DON’T  TREAT  ME  THAT 
WAY”  (2‘03)  [Lois  BMI— Lo- 
pez, Sheffield]  A rockin’  blueser  for 
the  teen-trade. 


BILL  BAKER  (Vim  515) 

(B)  “THANK  HEAVEN”  (2:16) 

[Lowell  BMI — Baker]  Per- 
former does  a reliable  beat-ballad  job 
on  the  found-love  item. 

(B)  “THE  PRICE  OF  LOVE” 

(2:20)  [Lowell  BMI — Baker] 
Good  jump  sound  to  this  survey  by 
songster  Baker  and  the  zestful  com- 
bo-chanting chorus. 


FERRANTE  & TEICHER 
(ABC-Paramount  10,165) 

(B)  “LIDA  ROSE”  (2:39)  [Frank 
ASCAP— Willson]  The  duo- 
pianists — currently  hit  artists  with 
UA  (“Apartment,”  “Exodus”) — offer  a 
sprightly  account  of  the  catchy  “early 
1900’s”  romantic  from  “Music  Man.” 
Amiable  sound. 

(C+)  “TAKE  ME  ALONG”  (2:22) 
[Valyr  ASCAP— Merrill]  The 
show  main-title  is  given  a bouncy  ar- 
rangement. 


“RUBY  DUBY  DU”  (2:36)  [Robbins  ASCAP— Wolcott,  Skylar] 

“BOB  WHITE”  (2:43)  [Remick  ASCAP — Hanighen,  Mercer] 

JOANIE  SOMMERS  (Warner  Bros.  5183) 

The  current  instrumental  click,  “Ruby  Duby  Du”  (from  the  “Key  Wit- 
ness” flick),  is  treated  to  a contagious  vocal  version  (with  hip  teen 
lyrics).  Catchy  instrumental  backdrop  painted  by  the  Sir  Chauncey 
Combo.  Flip’s  a dandy  swing  up-dating  of  the  old-timer.  Top  half’s  the 
one  to  watch. 


“PLEASE  TELL  ME”  (2:24) 

[Jamak  BMI — Tyler,  Weldon,  Myers,  Powers] 

“BELLS  RING”  (2:05)  [Lode-Mavarick,  Sara  Lee — Jamak  BMI — 
Tyler,  Weldon,  Myers,  Powers,  Scott] 

THE  PARADONS  (Milestone  2005) 

The  Paradons  can  make  it  two-in-a-row  as  they  follow  their  initial  suc- 
cess, “Diamonds  And  Pearls,”  with  another  potent,  teen-appealing  outing. 
The  new  side,  labeled  “Please  Tell  Me,”  is  a Latin  beat  romancer  loaded 
with  hit  ingredients.  The  other  end,  “Bells  Ring,”  is  a heai’tfelt  ballad- 
with-a-beat  opus  that  can  also  come  thru. 


CLEFTONES  (Roulette  4302) 

(B+)  “SHADOWS  OF  THE  VERY 
LAST  ROW”  (2:40)  [Shali- 
mar  Kahl  BMI — Covay,  Berry]  Vet 
rock  songsters  and  combo  come-up 
with  an  interesting  Latinish  about  a 
couple  who  can’t  get  to  be  alone. 
Should  impress  the  kids. 

(B)  “SHE’S  GONE”  (2:21) 
[Kahl  Sheldon  BMI— Cox] 
Boys  turn  to  a warm  wistful  and  get 
the  disenchanted  point  with  feeling. 


RON  THOMPSON/DICK  ALLISON 
(Dreem  2102  ) 

(C+)  “DREAM  WORLD  OF  LOVE” 
(2:35)  [Shelter  BMI — Allison] 
Singer  Allison  does  a light-beat  ro- 
mantic warble  against  a Latinish 
combo-chanting  chorus  sound. 

(B)  “TIKI  GUITAR”  (2:08) 
[Shelter  BMI — Thompson] 

Thompson  and  The  Broughams  musi- 
cians drive  nicely  on  the  catchy,  Lat- 
in-styled ditty.  Interesting  beat. 


VERN  MACK  (Eldo  109) 

(B)  “POOR  BOY”  [Eldorado  BMI 
— McEntire]  Mostly  over- 
dubbed, Mack  does  a good  job  on  the 
intriguing  folk-type  romancer.  Effec- 
tive guitar-percussion  performance  in 
the  background. 

(C+)  “SWEET  SUMMER  KISSES” 
[Eldorado  BMI  — McEntire, 
Otis]  Busy-beat  vocal-combo  chore, 
with  Mack  mostly  multi-tracked 
again.  OK  drive-beat  attraction. 


THE  FOUR  KINGS  (Cee-Jay  580) 

(B)  “I  DON’T  WANT  NOBODY 
BUT  YOU”  (2:44)  [Garnet- 
Little,  Johnson]  Lead  nicely  leads  the 
way  in  this  light  blues  jumper.  Agree- 
able rock  stuff. 

(C+)  “GUESS  WHO”  (2:40)  [Lois 
BMI — Hunter]  Same  unbilled 
fella  is  the  feature  of  the  wistful  date. 


‘SIGNIFYING  BLUES”  (2:32) 
[Arc  BMI — McDaniel] 


“GUN  SLINGER”  (1:50) 
[Arc  BMI — McDaniel] 


BO  DIDDLEY  (Checker  965) 

That  infectious  ‘Bo  Diddley’  beat  is  back  again  and  both  ends  here  mean 
big  r&b-pop  business.  One  side,  “Signifying  Blues,”  is  a humorous  con- 
versation piece  from  his  “Say  Man.”  dept.  The  other  half  brings  back 
the  original  “Bo  Diddley”  session  and  dresses  it  up  in  western  “Gun 
Slinger”  garb.  Two  delighters. 


SAMMY  BENSKIN  (Clock  1032) 

(B+)  “THIRD  MAN  THEME” 
(2:25)  [Chappell  ASCAP— 
Karas]  The  years-back  Anton  Karas 
hit  gets  a good-sounding  teen  combo 
outing,  with  a keyboard  heading  the 
cheerful  approach.  Could  make  noise. 
Karas  has  a new  version  on  London. 

(B)  “ROUND  ’N  ROUND”  (2:45) 
[Mecca  ASCAP  — Benskin] 
Another  affable  rock  stint.  Tune  is  not 
the  old  Perry  Como  click. 


SYLVIA  LARAMORE  (Miller  1142) 

(C+)  “MY  CONSCIENCE”  (2:40) 
[Miller  Song-Kraft  BMI — 

Miller,  Lardina]  Thrush  and  Miller 
Sisters  warmly  handle  the  plaintive. 
Some  of  the  team’s  setting  statements 
are  good. 

(C+)  “I’LL  TELL  YOU  WHY” 
(2:35)  [Miller  Song-Kraft 

BMI — Miller,  Segars]  Thrush  and  gals 
tell  this  tale  in  easy  upbeat  fashion.

GENE  PITNEY  (Musicor  1002) 

The  talented  young  tunesmith,  who  has  cleffed  a number  of  chart  items, 
makes  his  debut  as  a vocalist — and  what  a powerful  debut  it  is!  Side, 
tabbed  “(I  Wanna)  Love  My  Life  Away,”  is  an  exciting  double-tracked 
rocker  that  could  establish  Pitney  as  an  overnight  sensation.  Flip’s  a 
touching  beat-ballad  stint.  Great  new  teen  find. 


“THE  SLIDE  (PART  2)”  (2:35)  [Recordo  BMI— Vikki] 

“THE  SLIDE  (PART  1)”  (2:40)  [Recordo  BMI— Vikki]

son is  Googie  Rene’s  slidin’,  deliberate  beat  instrumental  (the  part  2 side) 
performance.  Teeners’ll  love  it.  Artist  runs  thru  the  instructions  on  the 
vocal  (part  1)  portion.  It’s  the  instrumental  half  all  the  way.

getting  industry  attention — is  heard 
in  a sensitive  R&B-flavored  vocal  in

ASCAP — Furber,  Adams]  The  warm 
favorite  receives  a soft,  stylized  rock-

TO  PAY”  (2:15)  [Pun-Jon 
BMI — Coombs]  Good  shuffle-beat

ments from  the  Dick  Jacobs-directed 
ork-chorus. 

(C+)  “LOVERS”  (2:23)  [Julian

Falling.”

DICKIE  ALLEN  (Imperial  5701) 

(B)  “SALLY  ANN”  (2:30) 

[Travis  BMI — Podolor]  Catchy 
calypso-rock  sound  in  this  session  by 
songster  Allen.  Effective  combo  beat 
and  femme  comments.  Should  interest 
the  teen  crowd. 

(B)  “WHY  DID  IT  END”  (1:35) 

[Podolor  BMI — Podolor]  The 
deliberate-beat  disenchanted  sounds 
something  like  the  old  hit,  “You 
Cheated.”  Well-done  track. 


PASTOR  FAMILY  (Capitol  4486) 

(B)  “LITTLE  OLD  NEW  YORK” 

(1:49)  [Sunbeam  BMI — Bock, 
Harnick]  Tony  Pastor  and  his  sons

ditty  from  “Tenderloin.”  Cheerful  pro- 
gramming portion.

[Sunbeam  BMI — Bock,  Har- 
nick] A swingin’  vocal  solo  on  an- 
other tune  from  the  show. 


FRANKIE  ELLIS  (Revolvo  55) 

(B)  “ONE  DREAM  TOO  MANY 
(Last  Night)”  (2:05)  [Ann 
ASCAP — Thorton]  Well-done  rock-a- 
cha  romancer  from  songster  Ellis, 
who  receives  good  chant  bits  from  the 
chorus.  Kids  will  appreciate  spins. 

(C+)  “LOOKIN’  FOR  TROUBLE” 
(1:50)  [Ann  ASCAP — Thor- 
ton] Trouble  is  a gal  in  this  light- 
beat  thumper. 


ALLEN  DARE  (Signet  600) 

(B)  “THE  OLD  PROSPECTOR” 
(2:08)  [Music  Prod.  ASCAP — 
Shanklin]  Both  the  Dare  vocal  and 
combo  beat  convey  the  folkish  tale 
with  effective  teen-slanted  sounds. 
Good  teen-beat  spin  choice. 

(C+)  “LONELYLAND”  (2:20) 
[Music  Prod.  ASCAP — Dare] 
Dare  and  the  chorus  have  that  haunt- 
ing “lonely”  rock  sound  here. 


THE  TRIPLETS  (Dore  574) 

(B)  “GENTLY,  MY  LOVE”  (2:14) 

[Hillary  Black,  Black,  Green- 
bach]  Combo  gives  a Santo  & Johnny- 
like account  of  the  nice  romantic  in- 
strumental. It’s  a generally  striking 
stint  and  it’s  worth  airtime. 

(B)  “BAGDAD  BEAT”  (2:00) 

[Hillary  BMI— Black,  Black, 
Greenbach]  Brighter  beat  on  a fa- 
miliar folk  melody  from  abroad.  In- 
teresting issue. 


CHAMP  BUTLER  (Five-Ten  1001) 

(B)  “ROCK  HUDSON  ROCK” 
(2:10)  [Mamaleen  BMI— 
D’Orr]  A swing-rock  account  of 
rockin’  on  Hudson  Bay.  Amiable  up- 
beat session. 

(C+)  “LET’S  YOU  AND  ME” 
(2:24)  [Mamaleen  BMI  — 
D’Orr,  Redwine]  Another  good- 
natured  swing  affair. 


(B)  (“I  Love  You)  FOR  SENTI- 
MENTAL REASONS”  (2:46) 

[Duchess  BMI — Watson,  Best]  Larks 
tenderly  essay  the  mainstay  and  re- 
ceive nice  male  chorus  comments.  In- 
viting teen-oriented  listening. 

(B)  “(I’ll  Be  In)  CINCINNATI” 

(2:14)  [Milnac  Spartan 

ASCAP — Freed,  Rogers]  Cozy  light- 
beat  reading  of  the  puedo-blues  num- 
ber. 


THE  DUCHESSES  (Chief  7023) 

(B)  “EVERY  BOY  IN  TOWN” 
(2:00)  [Melva  BMI — London] 
R&B  larks  offer  a contagious  medium- 
beat  vocal  on  a ditty  that  often  sounds 
like  “Frankie  & Johnny.”  Mostly  R&B 
work. 

(B)  “WILL  I EVER  MAKE  IT” 
(2:20)  [Melva  BMI — DeShan- 
non]  Colorful  Latin-blues  stint  here. 


(B)  “LOVE  THEME  OF  BEN- 
HUR”  (2:50)  [Robbins 
ASCAP — Rozsa]  The  ork  solos  on  the 
brooding  opus.  Carlo  Savina  heads  the 
ork  on  both  portions. 


MARY  PASTOR  (Roulette  4301) 

(B)  “I  WANT  A PLACE  OF  MY 
OWN  IN  YOUR  HEART” 
(2:52)  [Midway  ASCAP — Laney,  Mil- 
ler, Pastor]  Thrush  is  effectively 
multi-tracked  in  this  medium-beat  ro- 
mantic date.  Strings  and  percussion 
sounds  form  a full-bodied  setting. 
Should  come-up  with  good  exposure. 

(B)  “CERTAINLY  YOU  ARE” 
(2:18)  [Midway  ASCAP — • 
Laney,  LaVere,  Pastor]  Amiable 
rock-a-cha  way  to  this  cheerful  affec- 
tionate. Worth  deejay  time. 


CLINTON  BROOKS  & THE  B’S 
(Apache  1828) 

(C+)  “TOM  DULEY  ROCK”  (2:30) 
[Stairway  BMI — ] After  a 
“Tom  Dooley”-like  narrative  intro, 
vocalist  Brooks  and  musicians  sock 
with  an  OK  sound. 

(C+)  “IF  YOU  GO  NOW”  (2:46) 
[Stairway  BMI — ] Boys  sing  a 
teen-sentimental. 


STEVE  ROSSI  (Columbia  41854) 

(B)  “COME  COMPLETELY  TO 
ME”  (2:30)  [Famous  ASCAP 
— Hampton,  Bacharach]  Rossi  hands- 
in  a feelingful  performance  of  the  af- 
fectionate. Lush  ork-chorus  backing 
has  a nice  Latinish  touch.

CHRISTMAS 


“RUDOLPH  THE  RED-NOSED  “IT’S  CHRISTMAS  EVERY- 
REINDEER”  (2:32)  WHERE”  (3:05) 

[St.  Nicholas  ASCAP — Marks]  [Spanka  BMI — Anka] 

PAUL  ANKA  (ABC-Paramount  10169) 

Anka  can  have  a double-barreled  Christmas  triumph  here.  One’s  a won- 
derful new  swingin’  view  of  the  holiday  favorite,  “Rudolph,  The  Red- 
Nosed  Reindeer,”  while  the  other’s  an  ultra-lovely  new  item  penned  by 
the  talented  songster.  Sid  Feller’s  ork-choral  crew  neatly  backs  up  on 
this  superb  pairing  culled  from  his  new  Xmas  LP. 


“MERRY  CHRISTMAS,  HAPPY  NEW  YEAR”  (2:10) 

[Play  BMI — Corso,  Otis] 

“THIS  TIME  OF  THE  YEAR”  (2:23)  [Vanessa  ASCAP— Owens,  Hollis] 
BROOK  BENTON  (Mercury  71730) 

Benton’s  holiday  greetings,  “Merry  Christmas,  Happy  New  Year,”  is 
bound  to  be  warmly  received  by  jocks  and  wax-buyers  alike.  It’s  an 
extremely  pretty  romantic  ballad  that  Benton  ties  up  into  an  attention- 
getting  package.  Coupler,  “This  Time  Of  The  Year,”  is  a re-issue  of  last 
year’s  click  that  should  win  many  new  spins  this  time  around. 


“NEW  BABY  FOR  CHRISTMAS”  (2:22) 

[Starrite  BMI — Jones,  Blackwell] 

“(I  WANT  A)  ROCK  AND  ROLL  GUITAR”  (3:05) 

[Big  Bopper  BMI — Richardson] 

JOHNNY  PRESTON  (Mercury  71728) 

Preston  could  have  a big  teen  Xmas  item  with  “New  Baby,”  a catchy 
medium-beat  statement  that,  teen  beat-wise,  resembles  his  year-round 
successes.  Look  for  the  performer  to  cap-off  the  year  with  another  hit. 
More  Yuletide  doings  on  the  sing-a-narrative  flip.

Best  Bets 


THE  KINGSTON  TRIO 

(Capitol  4475) 

(B+)  “SOMERSET  GLOUCESTER- 
SHIRE WASSAIL”  (1:47) 
[Granada  BMI — Guard,  Schwandt] 
Team  gives  their  familiar  robust  folk 
touch  to  the  “classical”-type  Xmas 
opus.  This  take — from  the  songsters’ 
“The  Last  Month  Of  The  Year”  chart 
LP — could  prove  a holiday  success. 

(B+)  “GOODNIGHT  MY  BABY” 
(1:53)  [Highridge  BMI— Rey- 
nolds] More  of  a pop  flavoring  to  an- 
other seasonal  item  from  the  LP.  This 
sound  could  also  catch-on. 


RON  HOLDEN  (Donna  1331) 

(B-f)  “WHO  SAY  THERE  AIN’T 
NO  SANTA  CLAUS”  (2:32) 
[Maravilla  BMI — Kuhn]  Holden,  who 
hit  big  with  “Love  You  So”  awhile 
back,  could  get  strong  Yuletide  busi- 
ness with  this  R&B-type  novelty. 
Holden  is  backed  by  a solid  busy-beat, 
hopping  sax  sound.  Watch  it. 


DANNY  & THE  JUNIORS 
(Swan  4064) 

(B+)  “CANDY  CANE,  SUGARY 
PLUM”  (2:17)  [Conley  AS- 
CAP — Slay,  Crewel]  Teen  attrac- 
tions, who  recently  succeeded  with 
“Twistin’,  U.S.A.,”  have  a cheerful 
Xmas  rewrite  of  the  old  round,  “Row, 
Row  Your  Boat.”  Chipmunk-like  gim- 
mick is  included.  Decked  out  in  an  af- 
fable teen-beat,  side  could  make  the 
Yuletide  grade. 

(B)  “O  HOLY  NIGHT”  (2:41) 
[P.D. — Adam]  Boys  relate  the 
holiday  mainstay  with  respect  and 
feeling. 


GONZALES  BONAPARTE 
(Madison  142) 

(B+)  “WHY  THERE  IS  CHRIST- 
MAS” (2:42)  [Sho-Biz  Monu- 
ment BMI — Connell,  Lovdal]  An  in- 
teresting Xmas  side  in  which  Bona- 
parte narrates  the  Christmas  Story 
with  warm  support  from  a kiddie 
chorus  and  strings.  The  youngsters 
interject  with  several  lines  of  various 
Yuletide  classics.  Might  prove  an  im- 
portant kiddie  issue. 


PEGGY  LEE  (Capitol  4474  ) 

(B+)  “I  LIKE  A SLEIGHRIDE 
(Jingle  Bells)”  (2:02)  [May- 
time BMI — -Arr.  & Adapt,  by  May, 
Cavanaugh]  Thrush  softly  swings 
“Jingle  Bells”  while  larks  first  offer 
now-and-then  statements  of  the  title, 
and  then  sing-along  with  her.  Cozy 
swinging  from  the  Billy  May  ork. 
Look  for  hefty  holiday  spins  by  the 
hip  jocks. 

(B)  “CHRISTMAS  CAROUSEL” 
(2:19)  [Denslow  ASCAP — 
Lee]  Performer  chirps  her  own  Yule- 
tide number,  a graceful  waltz  tempo 
affair. 


LOU  MONTE  (Roulette  4308) 

(B)  “DOMINICK  THE  DONKEY 
(The  Italian  Christmas  Don- 
key)” (2:27)  [Queensbury  & Romance 
BMI — Allen,  Saltzberg,  Merrell] 
Monte’s  fans  will  enjoy  his  cheerful 
Xmas  entry.  His  vocal  is  supported 
by  a joyful  ork-chorus  sound  which 
includes  donkey  squeaks. 

(B)  “CHRISTMAS  AT  OUR 
HOUSE”  (2:22)  [Queensbury 
& Romance  BMI — Allen,  Saltzberg, 
Merrell]  The  sentimental  aspects  of 
the  holiday  in  this  Italian-styled 
waltzer. 


CRAZY  OTTO  (Decca  31185) 

(B)  “MEDLEY:  SLEIGH  RIDE, 
WINTER  WONDERLAND, 
WHITE  CHRISTMAS”— Three  stand- 
out seasonal  tunes  receive  a fine 
honky-tonk  sound  from  the  famed 
German  keyboard  artist.  Take’s  right 
in  the  spirit  of  the  holidays. 

(B)  “MEDLEY:  RUDOLPH  THE 
RED-NOSED  REINDEER,  I 
SAW  MOMMY  KISSING  SANTA 
CLAUS,  JINGLE  BELLS”  Same 
treatment  for  three  other  Yuletide  fa- 
vorites. 


EDDY  GREGORY  (Aztec  001) 

(B)  “UNDERNEATH  THE 
CHRISTMAS  TREE”  (2:05) 
[Avenue  ASCAP — Wilhoit]  Cheerful 
Xmas  get-together  by  some  songsters, 
who  use  a “gift”  guitar  for  accompa- 
niment. 

(C+)  “MERRY  CHRISTMAS  (Ev- 
erybody)” (1:56)  [Avenue 
ASCAP — Wilhoit]  Gregory  and  com- 
bo-chorus present  a warm  holiday 
waltzer. 


LITTLE  LANCE  (Silver  Slipper  1006) 

(C+)  “SANTA’S  COMING  IN  A 
WHIRLYBIRD”  (1:58) 
[Scottsdale  BMI — Dees]  Santa’s  up 
with  the  times  in  this  lively  kiddie 
chorus  item.  Mostly  moppet  appeal. 

(C+)  “DADDY’S  CHRISTMAS 
TRAIN”  (1:55)  [Jandee  BMI 
— Ashour]  Youngster  Lance  solos  in 
another  kiddie-directed  Xmas  novelty. 


LARRY  KINNAMON  (Audan  110) 

(B)  “THE  MIRACLE  OF 
CHRISTMAS”  (2:20)  [Peyton 
ASCAP— Hill,  Greenfield]  Attractive 
pop  Xmas  tune  is  rendered  with  an 
appealing  “ballad”  sound  by  the  song- 
ster and  pretty  ork-chorus.  Well- 
worth  seasonal  spins. 

(C+)  “HO-HO”  (2:10)  [Peyton 
ASCAP — Kinnamon]  Cozy  hip 
swinger  on  this  end. 


ROBIN  & HIS  MERRYMEN 

(Mohawk,  130) 

(C+)  “MR.  SANTA,  BRING  ME  A 
DOLL”  (2:18)  [Famous 
ASCAP — Cobbs]  A brisk,  razza-ma- 
taz  sound  to  this  tale  about  a fella 
who  wants  Santa  to  bring  him  a “real, 
live  doll.” 

(C)  “ELLEN”  (1:54)  Famous 
ASCAP  — Cobbs]  Cheerful 
straight  romantic. 


WEBSTER  WEBFOOT/ 

TEEN  ROCKERS  (Del-Tone  5015) 

(B)  “WHO  WILL  TAKE  ME 
HOME  FOR  CHRISTMAS” 
(2:08)  [Aut-Winston  ASCAP — Colon- 
na,  Hoffman,  Motola]  Webster  Web- 
foot,  a Donald  Duck-sounding  charac- 
ter played  by  Jimmy  Weldon,  offers 
a cute  tune  about  a pet-shop  duck 
who  wants  to  be  taken  home  for 
Xmas,  is  finally  purchased.  The  little- 
ones  will  like  the  sound. 

(B)  “RINKY  - DINK  - BLUES” 
(2:00)  [Aut  ASCAP— Free- 
man] The  Teen  Rockers  do  a solid  job 
of  combining  the  “rinky-dink-blues” 
with  the  big-beat. 

DONALD  DRUMS  (Challenge  59099) 

(B)  “MERRY-  CHRISTMAS  WIN- 

DOW” (1:51)  [Jat  BMI— 
Reed,  Bancino,  O’Connor]  Chipmunk 
like  voices  are  the  feature  of  this 
amiable  seasonal  session  aimed  at  the 
moppet  trade. 

(B)  “(There’s  Something  About 

A)  HOMETOWN  BAND” 
(2:10)  [Duchess  BMI — Nagy,  Lance, 
Canton]  The  gimmick  voices  plus  a 
regular  chorus  and  band  convey  the 
marcher  with  proper  zest. 

RAMSEY  LEWIS  TRIO  (Argo  5377) 

(B)  “WINTER  WONDERLAND” 
(2:08)  [Bregman,  Vocco  & 

Conn  ASCAP — Bernard,  Smith]  The 
seasonal  sturdy  is  a brightly  swinging 
instrumental  offering  in  the  hands  of 
pianist  Lewis.  And  since  he  hardly 
strays  from  the  basic  melodic  line  the 
slice  could  wrangle  considerable  pop 
programming. 

(C)  “SANTA  CLAUS  IS  COM- 
ING TO  TOWN”  (2:24)  [Feist 

ASCAP — Coots,  Gillespie]  A languid, 
almost  laborious,  heavy  blues-like 
take  of  the  Christmas  tune. 


EDDIE  “LOCKJAW”  DAVIS 

(B+)  “SANTA  CLAUS  IS  COM- 
ING TO  TOWN”  [Feist 
ASCAP — Coots,  Gillespie]  Delight- 
fully enjoyable  jazz  turn  on  the  main- 
stay. Davis’  tenor  smoothly  caresses 
the  sprightly  offering  and  he  has 
Shirley  Scott’s  able  organ  backing  to 
rely  upon.  Should  get  heavy  spins. 
(B+)  “CHRISTMAS  SONG”  Again 
it’s  a pretty  Davis  tone  which 
means  so  much  to  the  enjoyment  of 
this  lovely  ballad.  Both  sides  are  me- 
lodious and  have  good  pop  chances. 

THE  MODERN  JAZZ  QUARTET 

(Atlantic  2085) 

(B)  “ENGLAND’S  CAROL” 

(Part  1)  (3:04)  [MJQ  Music 

BMI — Lewis]  John  Lewis’  fascinating- 
jazz  composition  uses  “God  Rest  Ye 
Merry  Gentlemen”  as  a take-off  point. 
The  MJQ  is  featured  in  front  of  a 
large  ork  conducted  by  Gunther  Schul- 
ler. It’s  a melding  of  jazz  and  classi- 
cal music  and  its  chamber  music  sound 
might  be  beyond  the  usual  range  of 
many. 

(B)  “ENGLAND’S  CAROL” 

(Part  2)  (3:21)  [MJQ  Music 

BMI — Lewis]  Continuation  of  the 
above. 


(B)  “YOUR  LINE  IS  BUSY” 
(2:20)  [Maravilla  BMI — Hol- 
den, Johnston]  A romantic  novelty 
with  a good-sounding  blues  way. 


(B)  “CHRISTMAS  MEDLEY” 
(2:59)  [P.D.]  Bonaparte’s  Lit- 
tle Strings  warmly  perform  familiar 
holiday  numbers.

ALL  ABOUT  DISK  JOCKEYS 


George  LaZotte  long-distanced  with  us  from  WTRY-Troy,  N.Y.  to  discuss  his 
ideas  on  Christmas  programming.  In  his  capacity  as  program  manager  of  the 
5,000  watt,  24  hour  station,  George  decided  to  experiment  this  year  by  starting 
to  play  Christmas  records  earlier  than  the  arbitrary  Thanksgiving  commence- 
ment point.  He  said  that  since  it  takes  longer  to  break  a hit  they  would  try  to 
stimulate  earlier  than  usual  response  to  Christmas  singles  and  get  the  season 
rolling  early.  “Besides,”  said  George,  “who  set  that  Thanksgiving  precedent  any- 
way?” The  station  kicked  off  its  Christmas  programming  on  Nov.  14,  schedul- 
ing one  or  two  per  four  hour  show.  They’re  not  playing  hymns — just  pop  singles 
such  as  Bobby  Darin’s.  As  of  this  writing  (16)  they  have  eight  or  nine  things 
which  qualify  for  airing,  and  this  includes  three  or  four  left  over  from  previous

years.  George  noted  that  he’s  received  excellent  cooperation  from  local  busi- 
nessmen, who  have  come  in  early  with  Christmas  ad  copy.  Even  the  studio 
windows  are  all  decked  out  with  the  usual  decorations.  When  we  spoke  to  George 
he  was  enthusiastic  over  the  acceptance  since  he’s  had  no  listener  objection. 
Banking  on  the  premise  that  people  call  mainly  to  complain,  the  station  has  re- 
ceived only  one  objection  to  its  new  policy.  Otherwise  listeners  have  sat  tight  on 
voicing  their  opinions.  In  an  honest  appraisal  of  the  schedule,  George  closed 
the  conversation  by  commenting  that  he  doesn’t  yet  know  whether  the  thing 
will  be  successful — but  it’s  worth  a try;  and  since  ads  have  come  in  paralleling 
the  programming,  it  looks  good.  From  where  we  sit  we  wonder  if  any  other 
stations  have  gone  ahead  with  early  Christmas  programming? 

Not  all  blind  dates  turn  out  bad  says  Frank  Ferrell  (of  WDAS-Philadelphia). 
We  think  Frank  was  coerced  into  making  this  imposing  statement  since  a blind 
date  Frank  had  last  April  turned  out  to  be  with  the  future  Mrs.  Ferrell.  He 
will  be  wed  in  March  to  Miss  Janet  Gurk,  of  Main  Line  tennis  fame.  . . . 
Larry  Gar,  who  rarely  gets  excited  about  anything  (?),  has  literally  flipped 
his  wig  over  a recording  of  “The  Bells  of  St.  Mary’s”  by  Terry  & The  Mellows 
(on  Amy).  His  listeners  concur,  so  says  the  vociferous  man  from  WLBG- 
Laurens,  S.C.  . . . John  Eustace  phoned  in  from  WPDM-Pottsdam,  N.Y.  to 
reveal  that  his  station  is  relying  more  and  more  on  Top  50  programming  but 
is  being  prohibited  from  an  all-out  push  on  all  the  pop  singles  by  a lack  of  the 
latest  disks.  In  other  words,  they  need  service!  WPDM  is  an  affiliate  of  WNDR- 
Syracuse.  ...  A prime  example  of  disk  jockeying’s  fringe  benefits  is  Eddie 
Gale’s  adoption  by  Delta  Airline  Stewardesses  as  the  man  they  would  like 
most  to  “come  fly  with  them.”  And  that’s  just  what  the  WPLO-Atlanta  deejay 
did.  Why  not?  Most  guys  are  in  high  cotton  with  a couple  of  chicks  on  the 
string,  but  Gale  now  has  a whole  list  of  “flyin’  little  darlin’s”  (as  he  refers  to 
them)  to  choose  from.  Gale  was  officially  taken  under  wing  by  the  Delta 
Stewardi  at  the  Atlanta  International  Airport  with  ceremonies  beyond  the 
dreams  of  any  red-blooded  American  male.  Arm  in  arm  with  his  new  ad- 
mirers, Gale’s  parting  remark  was  “Man,  like  if  you’re  not  flying,  you’re  not 
with  it.”  . . . And  Eddie’s  really  flying  high  now! 

Jerry  and  Jimma  Strong,  WMAL-Washington’s  husband  and  wife  airtime 
team,  are  taping  a half  hour  portion  of  their  show  to  fill  an  unusual  request 
from  Korea.  The  Strongs  received  a package  from  a Navy  Lt.  Commander  in 
Korea  containing  a half  hour  blank  recording  tape  with  a letter  asking  them 
to  fill  it  with  part  of  their  show.  Seems  the  officer  and  his  wife  were  stationed 
in  Washington  last  year  and  the  Jerry  & Jimma  show  became  their  favorite. 
The  Commander’s  wedding  anniversary  is  coming  up  and  he  would  like  to 
surprise  his  wife  with  a tape  of  the  show,  which  they  can’t  pick  up  on  Korean 
radio.  The  importance  of  radio  personalities  in  the  personal  lives  of  people 
never  ceases.  . . . The  three  Crowell-Collier  stations — KEWB-San  Francisco, 
KFWB-Los  Angeles,  KDWB-Minneapolis — unveiled  last  week  a completely 
new  series  of  ID  jingles.  Johnny  Mann,  Liberty  ork  & chorus  artist,  was  com- 
missioned to  create  a new  chain  sound.  Working  on  it  for  the  past  six  months 
he  has  incorporated  every  known  musical  style  into  the  new  library  of  jingles, 
including  the  familiar  sounds  of  Glenn  Miller,  Perez  Prado,  Jonah  Jones,  and 
others.  Looks  like  a swinging  operation. 


VITAL  STATISTICS: 

The  West  Coast,  here  specifically  San  Francisco,  continues  to  be  the  recipient 
of  D.J.’s  (Displaced  Jockies).  Last  week  A1  “Jazzbo”  Collins  went  to  KFSO 
from  WINS-New  York,  and  Peter  Tripp  moved  to  KYA  from  his  post  at 
WMGM.  . . . Crowell-Collier  expands  its  radio  empire  with  the  purchase  of 
WMGM-New  York  (for  a reported  sum  of  $10,950,000)  and  WGMS-Washington, 
D.C.  Both  deals  are  subject  to  FCC  approval.  Crowell-Collier  already  owns 
KFWB-Los  Angeles,  KEWB-San  Francisco  and  KDWB-Minneapolis.  . . . WBIC- 
Bay  Shore,  L.I.  has  added  Dick  Noel  to  its  staff  to  do  a wake-up  show.  Noel 
comes  from  a popular  spot  with  WCBS-New  York.  . . . The  resignation  of  How- 
ard Eicher  as  VP  and  general  manager  of  WSAI-Cincinnati  and  the  appoint- 
ment of  Chick  Doty  as  station  director  was  announced  by  the  station.  Before 
coming  to  WSAI,  Doty  was  with,  WCPO-Cincinnati.  . . . Brad  Lacey  of  WMYR- 
Fort  Myers,  Fla.,  becomes  program  director  of  that  station  while  WMYR  staffer 
Mark  Brooks  moves  to  sister  station  WHEW-Palm  Beach  as  its  program  di- 
rector. Jockey  Joe  Buerry  takes  on  added  duties  as  sales  manager  of  WMYR 
and  Brad  Lacey  continues  as  music  director  for  both  stations.  . . WNTA 
moved  into  its  new  “Golden”  studios  located  at  36  Green  Street,  Newark,  N.J.

NEW  YORK — The  1960  Juke  Box 
Operator  poll  will  soon  be  in  the  rec- 
ord books  as  the  tallying  enters  its 
final  week.  The  keen  interest  indi- 
cated by  operators  is  evident  in  the

Box  each  week  since  the  poll  began.

will  determine  the  top  money-making 
recordings  and  artists  on  the  juke 
boxes  in  the  pop  and  country  fields 
during  1960,  and  will  also  show  which 
artists  juke  box  operators  consider 
most  promising. 

Voting  is  limited  to  juke  box  oper- 
ators and  is  tallied  on  the  basis  of 
one  vote  for  each  machine  an  operator 
owns.  Voting  will  cover  a five  week 
period.  Absolute  deadline  for  ballots 
is  November  22nd.

Touring  U.S. 


NEW  YORK — Yaffa  Yarkoni,  popu- 
lar Israeli  singing  star,  was  recently 
welcomed  to  this  country  by  Mitch 
Miller.  Miss  Yarkoni  is  currently  on 
a cross-country  concert  tour  in  behalf 
of  Israel  bonds  and  is  doing  concur- 
rent promotion  on  her  Columbia  al- 
bum, “Sabra!  Yaffa  Yarkoni.” 


Victor  & Columbia 
Cut  Richter  During  Tour 

NEW  YORK— Both  RCA  Victor  and 
Columbia  Records  are  taking  full  ad- 
vantage of  much-acclaimed  pianist 
Sviatoslav  Richter’s  current  tour  of 
the  U.S. 

Victor  has  already  released  a Rich- 
ter LP  of  the  Brahms’  piano  concerto, 
and  label  Red  Seal  A&R  head  Alan 
Kayes  announced  last  week  that  Rich- 
ter had  cut  Beethoven’s  first  piano 
concerto  with  Charles  Munch  and  The 
Boston  Symphony. 

It  was  also  announced  last  week 
by  Columbia  Masterworks  director 
Schuyler  G.  Chapin  that  Richter 
would  record  for  the  label  during  his 
tour.  He  will  be  backed  by  Eugene 
Ormandy  & The  Philadelphia  Orches- 
tra. Richter  played  with  Ormandy 
and  The  Philadelphia  during  the 
ork’s  visit  to  Russia  in  1958.  Although 
this  will  be  Richter’s  first  made-in- 
America  recording  for  Columbia,  the 
diskery  previously  released  a record- 
ing of  Richter  performances  of  Liszt 
and  Schubert  that  originated  in  a 
concert  in  Bulgaria  in  1958. 

Richter’s  made-in-Russia  record- 
ings are  released  here  by  Artia.  The 
Monitor  label  also  has  a Richter  LP 
out  here. 


Vaughn  Monroe  & Others 
Added  To  MGM  Line-Up 

NEW  YORK — Vet  songster  Vaughn 
Monroe  is  among  three  attractions 
just  added  to  the  MGM  Records  ros- 
ter, according  to  label  head  Arnold 
Maxin. 

Monroe’s  debut — “The  Song  Of  The 
Skier”  and  “Learn  To  Ski” — is  being 
released  for  the  time  being  in  just 
Boston,  Hartford,  Albany,  Minneap- 
olis and  Chicago. 

The  other  performers  are  Armando, 
a singer  who  bows  with  “Transistor” 
and  “Wonderful  Time  Of  The  Year” 
and  a song  duo,  Hank  & David,  who 
cut  “Lop-sided,  Over-loaded.” 


AmPar  Declares  Extra 
2%  Stock  Dividend 

NEW  YORK — An  extra  stock  divi- 
dend of  2 percent  on  the  common 
stock  in  addition  to  the  regular  fourth 
quarterly  cash  dividend  of  25  cents  on 
the  common  and  preferred  stock  were 
declared  last  week  by  the  directors  of 
ABC-Paramount  Theatres. 

ABC-Paramount  head  Leonard  Gol- 
denson  said  the  extra  dividend  re- 
flected the  44  percent  increase  in  nine- 
month  earnings  to  a record  of  $7,- 
552,000  from  $5,226  in  the  ’59  period. 

The  cash  dividends  are  payable  Dec. 
15  to  holders  of  record  of  Nov.  25. 
The  stock  dividend  is  payable  on  Dec. 
28  to  common  stockholders  of  record 
of  Nov.  25.  No  extra  dividend  was  dis- 
tributed last  year.

CHICAGO — Within  forty-eight  hours

Disk  Releases  For  '61

featuring  the  artistry  of  the  late 
Swedish  tenor,  Jussi  Bjoerling,  will  be 
released  next  year  by  Capitol  Rec- 
ords, it  was  announced  last  week  by 
Lloyd  W.  Dunn,  Capitol  A&R  veep. 

According  to  Dunn,  Capitol  will  re- 
lease the  “last  existing  complete  op- 
era recording  by  Bjoerling,”  a 3-disk 
album  of  Puccini’s  “Madame  Butter- 
fly” with  Victoria  de  Los  Angeles  in 
the  title  role.  A single  highlight  LP 
will  also  be  released.

tively tagged  “The  Beloved  Bjoer- 
ling,” featuring  recordings  made  by

an  article  by  Harold  C.  S-honberg, 
music  critic  of  the  New  York  Times, 
which  ran  in  the  Times  last  Sept.  18. 


MGM's  Jules  Rifkin  Marries 

NEW  YORK — Jules  Rifkin,  MGM  la- 
bel’s national  radio  promotion  rep,  was 
married  here  last  week  (16)  to  Elea- 
nor Levin,  a member  of  Dave  Garro- 
ways’  TV  production  staff.  They  were 
married  in  the  Boulevard  Restaurant 
in  Rego  Park,  Queens.  Miami  Beach  is 
the  site  of  the  couples’  honeymoon. 


With  Atlantic’s  portable  recording 
equipment  at  his  disposal,  Lomax  was 
able  to  record  in  both  monaural  and 
stereo. 

Each  of  the  LP’s  contains  a booklet 
describing  the  music  being  heard. 

In  recording  more  than  eighty  hours 
of  material — involving  more  than  a 
hundred  different  individuals  and 
groups — Lomax  ranged  over  the  Blue 
Ridge  Mountains,  the  Ozarks  and  the 
foothills  of  Alabama  and  Mississippi. 
He  went  into  prisons  to  record  con- 
victs singing  at  their  labor,  and  he 
went  to  the  Georgia  Sea  Islands 
for  his  materials. 

The  packages  are:  “Sounds  Of  The 
South” — Survey  and  general  intro  to 
the  series;  “Blue  Ridge  Mountain  Mu- 
sic”—Featuring  the  Mountain  Ram- 
blers of  Galax,  Va.;  “Roots  Of  The 
Blues” — Negro  country  blues,  field 
holders,  and  levee  camp  songs  from 
Alabama,  Mississippi  and  Arkansas; 
“White  Spirituals” — Sacred  songs  and 
hymns  of  white  backwoods  people  of 
the  South,  some  of  them  dating  back 
to  frontier  times;  “American  Folk 
Songs  For  Children” — Including 
twenty-one  songs  that  make-up  “The 
People’s  Mother  Goose”;  “Negro 
Church  Music”;  “The  Blues  Roll  On” 
— Supplements  “Roots  Of  The  Blues” 
volume. 

Atlantic  said  it  would  conduct  a 
“heavy”  advertising  and  promotion 
campaign  of  the  series.  Besides  trade 
paper  advertising,  the  set  is  being  ad- 
vertised in  High  Fidelity,  The  New 
York  Times,  Down  Beat,  The  Satur- 
day Review,  Little  Sandy  Review, 
Journal  of  American  Folklore  and 
“Sing  Out”  and  other  publications. 

A special  effort  is  being  made  to  in- 
terest libraries,  music  schools  and 
universities  in  the  educational  and 
cultural  values  of  the  set.

•THE  UNSINKABLE  MOLLY  BROWN”— Origi- 
nal Broadway  Cast — Capitol  WAO-1509 

Meredith  Willson’s  new  musical  view  of  Ameri- 
cana is  a delectable,  delicious  vehicle  for  the  ir- 
resistible impish  cavortings  of  Tammy  Grimes.  As 
on  stage  of  the  hit  show  Miss  Grimes  dominates 
the  disk  with  her  brassy  brashness,  and  she  gets 
excellent  support  from  Harve  Presnell’s  operatic 
voice.  The  music  is  delightful — the  overwhelming, 
catchy  opening  march,  “I  Ain’t  Down  Yet,”  the 
rowdy  “Belly  Up  To  The  Bar  Boys,”  the  touching 
simplicity  of  “My  Own  Brass  Bed,”  the  cleverly 
comical  envy  of  “Beautiful  People  of  Denver”  and 
many  other  attractive  songs.  Should  be  a hit  disk. 

“FIRST  ANNUAL  MESSAGE  FROM  THE 

PRESIDENT  OF  THE  B-I-T-O-A  CLUB”— 
Woody  Woodbury— BITOA  B-l 

Woodbury,  self-ordained  president  of  the  “Booze 
Is  The  Only  Answer”  club  who  has  triumphed  re- 
soundingly with  his  Steroddities  LP’s  cut  “live” 
from  his  nightly  performances  at  Ft.  Lauderdale’s 
Bahama  Hotel,  presides  here  over  a spontaneous 
tete-a-tete  with  his  guests,  discussing  with  them, 
to  hilarious  results,  their  marital  status,  sex, 
liquor,  etc.  Package,  promoting  Woodbury’s 
“club,”  contains  a paperback  size  handbook  de- 
tailing the  club’s  rules  of  conduct,  aims  and  ideals 
and  parliamentary  procedure.  Will  be  welcomed 
heartily. 

“MUSIC  FROM  EXODUS’  AND  OTHER  GREAT 
THEMES” — Mantovani — London  LL  3231 

The  grandiloquent  Ernest  Gold  main  theme 
from  “Exodus”  is  the  spotlight  track  here  and  is 
followed  by  “Karen,”  a tender,  touching  opus  from 
the  same  flick.  To  these,  other  popular  pic  themes 
are  added — “A  Summer  Place,”  “The  Sundown- 
ers,” plus,  what  could  be  considered  the  high 
points  of  the  album,  such  fine  melodies  as  “The 
Carousel  Waltz,”  “Mr.  Wonderful”  and  “Irma  La 
Douce.”  Solid,  stable  Mantovani  fare. 


“CAMELOT" — Arranged  & Conducted  by  Hugo 
Montenegro — Time  S/2022 

In  the  first  LP  account  of  Lerner  & Loewe’s 
melodies  for  their  upcoming  “Camelot,”  the  Mon- 
tenegro ork  offers  lush,  but  melody-first  rendi- 
tions of  thirteen  numbers  from  the  show.  The 
melodies  are  elegant  and  the  score  should  rank 
among  the  team’s  best.  Good  sound  is  a plus 
quality. 


“ONE  BY  ONE”— The  Coasters— Atco  33-123 
A departure  from  the  usual  Coasters’  fare. 
This  album  is  designed  to  show  off  each  mem- 
ber’s solo  vocal  talents,  so  each  of  the  quartet 
gives  out  with  the  legit  sound  on  such  items  as 
“But  Beautiful,”  “Satin  Doll,”  “Moonglow,”  “Don’t 
Get  Around  Much  Anymore”  and  “Autumn 
Leaves.”  Breakdown  includes  four  by  Carl  Gard- 
ner, three  each  by  Will  Jones  and  Cornel  Gunter 
and  two  blsesy  things  by  Billy  Guy. 


"ARTHUR  LYMAN  ON  BROADWAY”— Hifi 
R 818 

Eventually  every  instrumentalist  goes  “on 
Broadway”  for  an  LP  but  at  least  Lyman  has 
spiced  his  trip  there  with  originality  and  in- 
ventiveness. This  LP  features  but  four  tracks, 
each  one  devoted  to  the  music  from  a particular 
show.  The  songs  are  tops  (from  “My  Fail-  Lady,” 
“The  King  and  I,”  “South  Pacific,”  “Porgy  & 
Bess”)  the  arrangements  imaginative,  the  Lyman 
sound-effectively  dramatic  for  wide  pop  tastes. 
An  excellent  instrumental  date. 


“A  BUNCH  OF  BONGOS”— Willie  Rodriguez  and 
the  International  Stars — Grand  Award  GA  253 
SD 

Rodriguez,  beefed  up  by  such  able  percussion- 
ists as  Ray  Barreto,  Johnny  Pacheo,  has  the  ad- 
vantage of  Grand  Award’s  outstanding  engineer- 
ing to  showcase  his  Latin  excursions.  The  vital 
urgency  of  the  rhythms  and  melodies  of  “Tico, 
Tico,”  “Tropical  Merengue,”  “Mambo  Loco,”  “Cu- 
ban Mambo”  and  “Brazilia”  are  heard  in  ex- 
citing danceable  performances  by  the  Rodriguez 
group.  Highly  saleable  merchandise.

“BLAZING  LATIN  BRASS”— Nick  Perito  and 
His  Orchestra — Ultra  Audio  WWS  8502 

Perito’s  Latinization  of  classical  and  pop  tunes 
and  original  Latin  items  is  basically  for  the  audio- 
philes, though  many  can  be  danced  to.  Somehow-, 
the  Latin  sound  is  more  conducive  to  stereo  soynd 
effects  and  it  is  played  up  strong  here.  The 
tracks  feature  the  usual  blazing  trumpets  and 
pulsating  percussion,  woven  into  solidly  effective 
orchestrations.  Selections  include  “Malaguena,” 
“Miserlou,”  “The  Continental,”  “Anna”  and  “The 
Donkey  Serenade.”  Commercial  release  from  the 
new  United  Artists  affiliate. 

“THE  AUTHENTIC  SOUND  OF  THE  NEW 
GLENN  MILLER  ORCHESTRA— TODAY”— Ray 
McKinley— RCA  Victor  LSP-2270;  “THE  AU- 
THENTIC SOUND  OF  GLENN  MILLER  YES- 
TERDAY”—RCA  Victor  SP-33-90 

A gimmick  package  deal  by  Victor  offers  two 
LP’s,  one  stereo,  one  mono,  for  $5.98.  The  gim- 
mick is  coupling  the  reissue  of  twelve  vintage 
Miller  tracks  (i.e.  “American  Patrol,”  “In  the 
Mood,”  “Moonlight  Serenade”)  with  the  new  Ray 
McKinley-directed  Miller  ork  playing  the  same 
tunes,  even  the  exact  arrangements  (except  for 
some  stereo  updating).  Only  noticeable  difference 
between  the  two  is  the  sound  quality.  Should  make 
a good  gift  item  for  that  rare  someone  without 
original  Miller  tracks. 


“THE  SPIRIT  MOVES  ME”— Jack  Scott  with  the 
Chantones — Top  Rank  RM  348 

Scott  turns  to  spirituals  and  gospel  songs  for 
his  latest  LP  outing  and  he  provides  these  stand- 
ards with  the  vigorous,  heartwarming  perform- 
ances they  demand.  The  gospel  quartet  sound  is 
achieved  through  use  of  the  Chantones  with 
Scott.  The  outlook  is  basically  rhythmic  and  con- 
tagious for  such  tracks  as  “Little  David  Play  On 
Your  Harp,”  “Just  A Closer  Walk  With  Thee,” 
“The  Gospel  Train”  and  “Down  By  the  Riverside.” 


“SLEIGHRIDE” — The  Randy  Van  Horne  Singers 
—Everest  SDBR  1112 

A swinging  tribute  to  the  season  by  the  finely 
blended  voices  of  the  Van  Horne  choir.  This  is  an 
all  pop  program  and,  thankfully,  the  overdone 
tunes  have  been  eliminated  for  the  refreshing 
likes  of  “It  Happened  In  Sun  Valley,”  “What  Are 
You  Doing  New  Year’s  Eve,”  “Let  It  Snow,  Let 
It  Snow,”  “Spring  Will  Be  A Little  Late  This 
Year”  and  8 others.  Merits  much  attention. 


“THE  HITS  OF  MICKEY  KATZ  AND  HIS  OR- 
CHESTRA”—Capitol  T 298 

Mickey  Katz’s  whacky  yiddish  interpolations 
of  popular  hits  has  always  been  a precious  com- 
modity on  the  Yiddish  disk  market.  Here,  on  Cap- 
itol’s “Star  Line,”  are  packaged  a dozen  of  the 
comic’s  most  famous  satirizations,  among  them 
“Herring  Boats,”  “Kiss  Of  Meyer,”  “Bagle  Call 
Rag,”  “David  Crockett”  and  “Borscht  Riders  In 
the  Sky.”  Looms  as  a big  seller  in  its  field. 


"BLOSSOM  DEARIE,  SOUBRETTE,  SINGS 
BROADWAY  HIT  SONGS”— Verve  MG  V-2133 
Miss  Dearie,  ideally  suited  through  her  voice 
as  a soubrette,  here  lends  her  coquettish  musical 
personality  to  a collection  of  impishly  coy  and 
somewhat  naughty  songs  from  the  Broadway 
stage.  Russ  Garcia’s  arrangements  are  eloquent 
examples  of  how  true  collaboration  can  advance 
the  mood.  The  songs  are  “Confession,”  “Always 
True  To  You  In  My  Fashion,”  “Life  Upon  the 
Wicked  Stage,”  “Love  Is  The  Reason”  and  “To 
Keep  My  Love  Alive.”  A delightful  album. 


“PRESENTING  THE  CROSBY  BROS.”— MGM 
E3873 

The  Crosby  brothers — minus  Gary — are  grow- 
ing into  a strong  show  biz  act.  The  vocal  talents 
of  the  group  are  presented  for  the  first  time  on 
disk  with  the  boys  offering  harmonious  perform- 
ances of  “You  Must  Have  Been  A Beautiful  Baby," 
“Limehouse  Blues,”  “Singin’  In  the  Rain”  and 
“Magic  Is  The  Moonlight.”  A new  group  for  fu- 
ture disk  contention. 


The  Cash  Box — November  26,  1960 


Album  Review 


‘JUST  A CLOSER  WALK  WITH  THEE”— Patti 
Page — Mercury  SR  60233 

The  thrush’s  last  LP  outing  was  a collection 
of  gospel  songs,  some  of  which  she  performed 
in  the  “Elmer  Gantry”  flick.  Here  she  is  con- 
cerned with  spirituals  which  have  been  arranged 
to  fit  into  her  vocal  style— soft  and  gentle.  With 
full  chorus  and  soloists  in  accord  with  her,  Miss 
Page  offers  stirring  readings  of  “Steal  Away,” 
“Little  David,”  “Gi-eat  Gettin’  Up  Mornin’,”  “It’s 
Me  Oh  Lord”  and  “Were  You  There.” 


Illllllllllllllllllililllllllllllll 

“PHILLY  JOE’S  BEAT ’—Philly  Joe  Jones— At- 
lantic 1340 

Jones’  beat  is  the  most  articulate  in  modern 
jazz  drumming.  A master  of  polyrhythmic  solos, 
he  is  also  most  reliable  and  consistent  in  laying- 
down  a strong  rhythmic  line  which  can’t  fail  in 
propelling  the  most  lethargic  member  of  his  cur- 
rent group.  Working  the  rhythm  section  with 
Jones  here  is  Paul  Chambers  and  Walter  Davis, 
while  newcomers  cornetist  Michael  Downs  and 
tenorman  Bill  Barron  work  the  horn  line.  Of 
course  lots  of  solo  space  is  given  to  Jones.  Se- 
lections include  “Salt  Peanuts,”  “Two  Bass  Hit.” 
“Dear  Old  Stockholm”  and  four  others. 


“AN  AMERICAN  IN  ROME”— Phil  Brito— War- 
wick W 2017 

A sightseeing  visit  to  this  Italian  city  is  tied 
up  in  the  liner  notes  with  Brito’s  performances 
of  a dozen  American  pops.  The  singer  translates 
such  sturdies  as  “Cherokee,”  “Jersey  Bounce,” 
“Perdito,”  “Misty”  and  “Undecided”  into  Italian 
language  vehicles.  He  has  a warm,  pleasing  voice 
and  accounts  nicely  for  the  bi-lingual  etchings 
here. 


“THE  AMAZING  PAUL  RENARD  PLAYS  THE 
ALL  AMERICAN  MUSIC  OF  GEORGE  M. 
COHAN  ON  THE  WURLITZER  PIPE  ORGAN” 
— Riverside  RLP  845 

Somehow  the  endearingly  cornball  music  of 
George  M.  Cohan  seems  so  much  at  home  being- 
played  on  an  organ.  And  Renard’s  masterful 
technique  on  the  huge  Wurlitzer  is  matched  with 
an  affection  for  the  beloved  music,  resulting  in 
an  enjoyable  LP.  Among  the  selections  are  “Har- 
rigan,”  “Forty  Five  Minutes  From  Broadway,” 
“Mary’s  A Grand  Old  Name,”  “Nellie  Kelly,  I 
Love  You”  and  “Give  My  Regards  To  Broadway.” 


“BE  MY  GUEST”— Rolf  Kuhn— Panorama  PLPS 
—2008 

Kuhn,  a young  German  clarinetist  now  making 
his  indelible  mark  on  the  American  jazz  scene, 
is  surrounded  by  several  outstanding  American 
jazzmen  here  for  a musical  trip  to  distant  lands. 
With  Kuhn  for  performances  of  such  items  as 
“Istanbul,”  “South  of  the  Border,”  “Atlanta,  Ga.,” 
and  “Chicago,”  are  Don  Lammond  (or  Ray 
Mosca),  Jim  Hall  (or  Chuck  Wayne)  and  others, 
each  adding  to  the  total;  but  it  is  the  tasteful, 
melodic,  inventive  (in  a Buddy  De  Franco  style) 
and  relaxed  work  of  Kuhn  that  is  up  for  scru- 
tinization.  He  passes  this  test  with  flying  colors. 

“ONE  FOOT  IN  THE  GUTTER”— A Treasury 
Of  Soul — The  Dave  Bailey  Sextet — Epic  LA  16008 

Drummer  Bailey  heads  up  an  ensemble  consist- 
ing of  Junior  Cook,  Curtis  Fuller,  Clark  Terry, 
Horace  Parian  and  Peck  Morrison  in  what  is 
termed  “a  treasury  of  soul,”  three  extended 
tracks  played  in  the  down  home,  return-to-roots 
blues  school.  This  is  solid  blues  jazz  meat,  of  the 
kind  so  prominent  with  many  popular  groups 
today.  The  “live”  takes  permit  an  atmosohere  of 
relaxation  and  unhurriedness  which  shows  to 
advantage  in  the  final  results.

ing "trad”  bands,  plays  a 
form  of  disciplined,  yet  full- 
blooded  and  buoyant  jazz  that 
Is  definitely  superior  to  that 
of  any  equivalent  band  in  this 
country. 

As  a matter  of  fact,  there 
is  no  equivalent  band  in  this 
country  for  Mr. 
his  men  have  ■ 
metier  that  is 


“TRAD  .JAZZ”  Volume  1 — Chris  Barber’s  Jazz 
Band — Laurie  1903 

Barber,  of  “Petite  Fleur”  fame,  heads  one  of 
England’s  leading  traditional  jazz  bands.  His 
group  has  been  recorded  here  in  a mixture  of 
vintage  tunes,  pop  items  and  some  originals.  Each 
is  handled  in  the  New  Orleans  style  regardless  of 
their  origin,  but  there  can  be  detected  traces  of 
more  recent  jazz  leanings  in  the  band’s  playing. 
Clarinetist  Monty  Sunshine  takes  the  most  solo 
time  and  he  has  a pleasant,  melodious  tone. 
Among  the  tunes  are  “Swannee  River,”  “Golden 
Striker,”  “I  Remember  When”  and  “Creole  Song.” 


"DANCES  OF  PORT  SAID” — Mohammed  El 
Bakkar  & His  Oriental  Ensemble — Audio  Fidelity 
AFSD  5922 

The  late  El  Bakkar  reigned  in  the  U.S.  as  the 
foremost  interpreter  of  the  pulsating,  sensuous 
music  of  the  Middle  East.  This  fifth  album  for 
AF  contains  a dozen  tracks  featuring  El  Bakkar’s 
forceful  tenor  voice  over  a chorus  of  strident 
voices  and  the  contagious  music  spilled  out  ener- 
getically by  the  instrumentalists.  He  has  a faith- 
ful following. 

“LET’S  GO  LATIN” — Herb  Zane  and  his  Orches- 
tra— Tico  SLP  1073 

A happy  album  of  cha  cha  chas  for  dancing. 
Zane  uses  a pleasing  mixture  of  brass  and  per- 
cussion instruments  entwined  in  imaginative  but 
uncomplicated  arrangements,  with  the  sole  pur- 
pose of  providing  easy-to-follow  Latin  danee- 
ables.  Stereo  is  used  effectively  but  not  religiously 
so  as  to  diverge  from  the  primary  purpose  of 
musicality.  The  tune  program  is  a mixture  of 
American  pops,  classical  themes  and  authentic 
Latin  songs— “Frenesi,”  “Espana  Cani,”  “The 
Speak  Up  Mambo”  and  “Sentimental  Journey,” 
among  them. 


“ART  BLAKEY  AND  THE  JAZZ  MESSENGERS 
AT  THE  JAZZ  CORNER  OF  THE  WORLD”— 
Blue  Note  4016 

This  is  the  second  volume  of  Blakey  perform- 
ances cut  at  Birdland  earlier  this  year.  This  is 
one  of  the  hardest  striking  groups  in  jazz,  pro- 
pelled by  Blakey’s  relentless  rhythmic  drive.  Lee 
Morgan,  Hanks  Mobley,  Bobby  Timmons  and 
Jymie  Merritt,  all  disciples  of  the  funky  Blakey 
school,  complete  the  picture.  Selections  include 
“Chicken  An’  Dumplin’s,”  “Hi-Fly”  and  “Art’s 
Revelation.”  This  is  strong  stuff. 


BACH:  Brandenburg  Concertos  1-6 — Herman 
Scherchen  conducting  the  Vienna  State  Opera 
Orchestra — Westminster  14114,  14115,  14116 
Scherchen  repeats  for  Westminster  in  stereo 
his  three  disk  session  of  the  complete  Branden- 
burg concerti  which  he  did  for  Omega  monaurally. 
An  acknowledged  great  interpreter  of  Bach,  the 
conductor  now  has  the  facilities  of  stereo  for  even 
fuller  appreciation  of  the  works  and  he  takes  ad- 
vantage of  breadth  and  vividness. 


“THESAURUS  OF  CLASSIC  JAZZ”— Columbia 
C4L  18 

Columbia  has  scoured  its  jazz  catalog  of  re- 
cordings from  the  Twenties  and  has  found  enough 
interesting  material  in  the  archives  of  the  Har- 
mony, Perfect,  Okeh,  Domino,  Actuelle,  Pathe 
and  Velvet  Tone  labels  for  four  disks  of  music 
from  this  “classic  jazz”  era.  Groups  represented 
include  Red  Nichols  and  the  Charleston  Chasers, 
the  Redheads,  Arkansas  Travelers  (never  before 
available)  and  individuals  such  as  the  Dorsey 
Brothers,  Frankie  Trumbauer,  Miff  Mole,  Joe 
Venuti,  Eddie  Lang,  Adrian  Rollini,  Wingy  Ma- 
none  and  many  others.  Of  immense  historical 
interest! 


“KLEMPERER  CONDUCTS  WAGNER”— Otto 
Klemperer  conducting  the  Philharmonia  Orchestra 
— Angel  3610  B 

In  celebration  of  the  distinguished  conductor’s 
75th  birthday  he  has  recorded  for  this  Angel  re- 
lease two  disks  of  Wagnerian  operatic  orchestral 
music.  The  set  includes  readings  of  overtures  for 
“Rienzi,”  “The  Flying  Dutchman,”  “Tannhauser,” 
“Die  Meistersinger,”  preludes  to  “Lohengrin”  and 
a couple  of  other  pieces,  all  magnificently  per- 
formed in  the  superb  Klemperer  tradition.  A re- 
cording milestone  for  the  artist.

BRAHMS:  Concerto  No.  2 in  B-flat  Major  for 
Piano — Sviatoslav  Richter,  pianist,  Erich  Leins- 
dorf  conducting  the  Chicago  Symphony  Orchestra 
—RCA  Victor  LSC-2466 

Richter,  this  year’s  “hero”  of  the  concert  stage 
(since  emerging  from  Russia  for  a U.S.  tom- 
under  the  Hurok  banner),  duplicates  his  wildly 
acclaimed  in-person  performances  of  the  towering 
Brahms  second  on  this  Victor  disk.  He  has  a 
flawless  technique,  immense  depth  and  under- 
standing and  a large  new  following  to  purchase 
this  disk.

Performance:  Lush  arrangements  treat  the  Gershwin  score  to  an  outing  via

Value:  The  Gershwin  name  ought  to  attract  and  the  Design  “compatible”  fea- 
ture should  broaden  the  market  (plays  on  either  hi-fi  or  stereo  set). 


“A  CHRISTMAS  CAROL”  Narrated  by  Basil  Rathbone  with  Carols  by  the 
Lyn  Murray  Singers,  Harmony  HL-9523,  $1.98 

Content:  Dickens’  famed  opus  is  narrated  here  in  conjunction  with  some  cheer- 
ful caroling  by  the  Murray  group.  Cover:  Very  tasteful  and  artful  reproduction 
of  pages  from  the  story  book.  Performance:  Rathbone’s  theatrical  voice  was

shopper  at  holiday  time.  Looks  like  standard  material.

ings still  reflect  the  genius  of  the  McCormack  voice.  Commercial  Value:  The 
deck  is  definitely  a pick  on  strength  of  collector’s  value  and  attraction  to  the 
shopper. 


“REMEMBER  THE  ALAMO”  Narrated  by  Claude  Rains,  Music  by  Tony  Mot- 
tola,  Nobel  NOM-102,  $1.98

inimitable  nari-ation  to  put  across  the  feeling  of  great  crisis  and  personal  loss 
in  this  excellent  narration.  He  strives  for  realism  in  a professional  manner  and 
achieves  it.  Score  complements  narration.  Commercial  Value:  The  current 
movie  will  help  promote  sales,  although  material  itself  is  capable  of  standing

might  attract  adults  as  well.

Reviews 

iifiiiiiiiiiiii 


“NOEL  NOEL”— Anne  Phillips  Choir— Stere-O- 
Craft  17 

Though  this  album  contains  the  most  familiar 
Christmas  carols,  the  extremely  gifted  arrang- 
ing pen  of  Anne  Phillips  has  transformed  them 
into  completely  refreshed  melodies.  Her  handling 
is  thoroughly  unorthodox  in  present  disk  terms  but 
of  the  highest  artistic  order.  They  command  at- 
tention as  vital  performances.  Among  the  selec- 
tions are  “Good  King  Wenceslas,”  “Angels  We 
Have  Heard  on  High,”  “Jesus  the  Christ  Is  Born” 
and  “We  Three  Kings  Of  Orient  Are.” 


“CHRISTMAS  DAY  WITH  SAMMY  KAYE”— 
Sammy  Kaye  and  His  Orchestra — Decca  DL  74070 
The  swing  and  sway  sound  of  Kaye  becomes 
subdued  for  this  outing.  He  directs  his  ork  plus 
the  Kaye  Choir  and  the  Kaydets  with  Ray  Mich- 
aels as  soloist  in  an  enjoyable  program  of  rev- 
erent and  popular  Christmas  music.  Included  are 
“Silver  Bells,”  “It’s  Beginning  To  Look  Like 
Christmas,”  “Christmas  Child”  and  “A  Merry 
Christmas.” 


“THE  REGENSBURGER  CATHEDRAL  BOYS 
CHOIR  SING  CHRISTMAS  SONGS”— Decca  DL 
74062 

There  is  a universal  appeal  in  Christmas  music 
sung  in  a foreign  language.  Here  many  will  be 
charmed  by  the  program  of  hymns,  carols  and 
songs  sung  in  German  by  this  superb  boys  choir. 
Under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Theobald  Schrems,  the 
choir  demonstrates  its  superior  quality  in  bring- 
ing a reverence  to  the  music.  Among  the  selec- 
tions are  “Oh  Tender  Child,”  “Holy  Night,” 
“From  Heaven  Above  Ye  Angels  Come”  and  nine 
others.

Bergen  County,  New  Jersey,  allegedly 
in  the  possesion  of  Bonus  Platta  Pak

ments of  Robert  Arkin,  Milton  Rich- 
man,  Brad  Atwood  and  Bonus  Platta 
Pak  by  the  Grand  Jury  of  Bergen 
County,  which  prosecutions  are 
claimed  to  be  presently  pending. 

The  suit  against  Keenholtz  was  pre- 
pared by  Blanc,  Steinberg,  Balder  & 
Steinbrook,  of  Philadelphia,  attorneys 
for  ARMADA.  They  have  retained 
Walter  Hofer  of  New  York  City  for 
purposes  of  this  suit.

dent, said  that  the  plaintiff  in  this 
case  is  a member  of  ARMADA. 
ARMADA  has  been  waging  a cam- 
paign to  stamp  out  counterfeiting  on 
all  levels.

reputation  of  the  registered  trade- 
mark “Cameo”  by  the  alleged  pur- 
chase and  sale  of  alleged  bogus  rec- 
ords bearing  the  Cameo  trademark  by 
Raymar.  $10,000  is  claimed  by  the 
plaintiff  as  additional  damages  for 
sales  of  counterfeit  Cameo  records  by 
Raymar.  Raymar’s  profits  on  the  sale 
of  such  records  are  further  sought  by 
the  plaintiffs  and  in  the  Complaint 
this  amount  is  estimated  at  $15,000. 

In  addition  to  monetary  damages, 
plaintiff  is  requesting  an  Injunction 
against  Raymar  to  restrain  the  defen- 
dant from  the  future  purchase  or  sale 
of  spurious  records  bearing  the 
Cameo  trademark.  Further  relief  in 
the  nature  of  an  accounting  and  de- 
struction of  counterfeit  records  in 
Raymar’s  possession  are  also  re- 
quested by  the  plaintiff. 

The  Complaint  which  was  filed  al- 
leges that  the  trademark  “Cameo”, 
owned  by  Bernard  Lowe  Enterprises, 
Inc.  is  a registered  trademark  in  the 
Patent  Office  and  New  York  State, 
and  that  by  virtue  of  care,  judgment 
and  ability  employed  by  the  label 
owner  the  label  has  acquired  and  en- 
joyed a reputation  of  quality  and  ex- 
cellence in  the  field.”  A subsequent 
allegation  is  that  Raymar  with  full 
knowledge  of  Bernard  Lowe  Enter- 
prises, Inc.  registration  of  this  trade- 
mark engaged  in  buying,  selling  and 
advertising  for  sale  counterfeit  rec- 
ords bearing  the  Cameo  label.  It  is 
stated  that  Keenholtz  knew  that  the 
records  he  purchased  were  in  fact 
counterfeit  records. 

In  the  action  it  is  claimed  that  Keen- 
holtz made  numerous  sales  of  these 
counterfeit  records  in  the  New  York 
area  for  a considerable,  but  unknown 
period  of  time. 

Talmadge,  further  said,  “This  suit 
is  the  most  recent  of  those  which  have 
been  brought  in  cases  alleging  traffic 
in  counterfeit  records.  ARMADA  has 
been  a moving  force  in  the  actions 
undertaken  to  eradicate  this  practice. 
Suits  have  been  instituted  in  several 
states  and  are  presently  pending.  Vio- 
lations have  also  resulted,  in  some 
instances,  in  criminal  prosecutions.

Initial  Ultra  Audio  Pressing 
A Sell-Out,  UA  Reports

ing of  200,000  albums  in  United  Art- 
ists’ new  Ultra  Audio  series  has 
been  sold,  according  to  an  announce- 
ment last  week  by  UA  national 
sales  manager  Andy  Miele.  There  are 
five  separate  releases  and  plants  are 
rushing  additional  copies  to  meet  the 
“influx  of  orders.” 

“The  tremendous  interest  in  ‘sound’ 
LP’s  throughout  the  country  was 
clearly  indicated  in  the  response  to 
our  dealer  showings,”  Miele  said. 
“Too,  we  found  most  dealers  not  only 
anxious  to  stock  the  Ultra  Audio  line, 
but  happy  to  receive  the  merchandis- 
ing package  which  is  included.  More 
window  space  was  obtained  nationally 
this  past  week  than  I have  ever  ex- 
perienced.” 

With  the  results  now  in  from  most 
areas,  Art  Talmadge,  UA’s  veep  and 
general  manager,  reported  that  the 
second  Ultra  Audio  series,  which  will 
be  released  early  next  year,  is  already 
underway.  The  “Coverama”  packag- 
ing featured  in  the  initial  release  will 
continue.  Those  artists  “definitely  set” 
for  the  second  series  include  Eydie 
Gorme  and  Steve  Lawrence,  Sauter- 
Finnegan  Orch.;  Ralph  Marterie 
Orch.;  Tito  Rodriguez  Orch;  Nick 
Perito,  Ferrante  & Teicher  and  Terry 
Snyder.

oddities-distributed  Bitoa  label  and  is 
tagged  “The  First  Annual  Message 
From  The  President  To  The  Members 
Of  The  BITOA. 

BITOA  was  organized  several 
months  ago  by  its  “leader  and  presi- 
dent” and  invitations  were  inserted 
in  the  second  Woodbury  album 
“Laughing  Room,”  inviting  the  pur- 
chaser to  join  and  receive  an  official 
membership  suitable  for  framing  at 
no  cost  to  the  recipient. 

The  response,  according  to  label 
head  Fletcher  Smith,  was  “over- 
whelming and  now  BITOA  is  a corpo- 
ration within  itself  with  close  to  1,- 
000  members  and  for  the  record  shop 
it  means  a . . . pre-sold  initial  mar- 
ket for  all  future  Woody  releases,  not 
to  mention  the  other  releases  out  of 
the  Stereoddities  and  Duo  stable.” 

The  LP  also  contains  a pocketbook 
of  Woodbury  jokes  and  a BITOA

Probe  Bribery  Reports 
In  N.Y.  Cabaret  Licenses 

NEW  YORK — A scandal  involving 
purported  bribes  to  police  officials  in 
the  issuance  of  cabaret  licenses  here 
was  in  the  making  last  week  and  it 
could  have  important  repercussions  in 
the  music  trade. 

In  a telegram  sent  to  Gov.  Rocke- 
feller last  Monday  (13),  a Citizens 
Emergency  Committee  called  for  a 
state  investigation  into  complaints  of 
such  bribery,  including  a specific  ex- 
ample of  a Deputy  Police  Commis- 
sioner who  allegedly  was  offered  $100 
by  a theatrical  agent  to  reinstate  the 
cabaret  license  of  the  late  comedian, 
Richard  M.  (Lord)  Buckley,  who  the 
police  say  lost  his  license  because  he 
concealed  an  arrest  in  applying  for 
it. 

By  week’s  end,  Gov.  Rockefeller  re- 
quested New  York  City  Mayor  Wag- 
ner and  Police  Commissioner  Ken- 
nedy to  send  him  reports  “on  matters 
contained”  in  the  Citizens  Emergency 
Committee’s  charges. 

Earlier  in  the  week,  Investigation 
Commissioner  Louis  I.  Kaplan  told 
the  press  that  he  intended  to  check 
11,000  cabaret  licenses  to  determine  if 
any  were  obtained  in  an  illegal  man- 
ner. Kaplan  also  said  he  would  ques- 
tion various  entertainers.  There  are 
1,100  establishments  in  the  city  which 
are  termed  cabarets. 

Situations  of  instances  were  per- 
formers played  niteries  in  New  York 
without  a license  came  to  light  when 
Frank  Sinatra  admitted  through  a 
spokesman  that  he  never  obtained  a 
performer’s  card  here  and  would  not 
play  New  York  if  he  had  to  get  one. 
He  contends  the  police  investigation 
into  requests  for  a cabaret  license— 
which  involves  fingerprinting — is  de- 
meaning to  the  performer.  Sinatra 
has  been  playing  the  Copacabana  in 
recent  years. 


Coasters  Sing  Solo 

NEW  YORK — The  Coasters,  Atco’s 
star  songsters,  get  a chance  to  sound- 
off  as  solos  in  their  new  LP,  “One  By 
One.”  Each  member  of  the  quartet 
has  from  two  to  four  vocals  in  the 
set. 

With  all  but  one  of  the  tunes  ever- 
greens, album  producers  Jerry  Leiber 
and  Mike  Stoller  have  geared  the  LP 
to  both  teenage  and  adult  audiences. 

The  team  is  composed  of  Will 
Jones,  Carl  Gardner,  Billy  Guy  and 
Cornel  Gunter.

development  of  a fully  rounded  re- 
cording firm.  For  the  past  several 
years,  gross  sales  in  this  area  of  the 
LP  field  have  been  in  excess  of  the  in- 
dustry average,  indicating  its  dynamic 
growth.  Lyle  Engel’s  own  experience 
in  the  field  as  an  independent  pro- 
ducer made  him  ideal  for  us.  The  ex- 
cellent covers  of  the  Noble  line  add 
immeasurably  to  the  sales  value.  The 
merchandising  techniques  that  we 
have  prepared  with  Dewey  Bergman, 
Jr.,  director  of  album  sales  for  Rank 
Records  of  America,  should  make  this 
one  of  the  most  profitable  lines  our 
distributors  have  ever  handled.”

Crowell-Collier  BuysWMGM 
For  Near  $1 1 Million 

NEW  YORK— Crowell-Collier  Broad- 
casting Corporation,  a wholly-owned 
subsidiary  of  The  Crowell-Collier  Pub- 
lishing Company,  last  week  signed  a 
contract  to  purchase  radio  station 
WMGM,  New  York,  from  Loew’s 
Theaters  Broadcasting  Corporation  for 
$10,950,000,  as  was  previously  re- 
ported. The  selling  company  is  a sub- 
sidiary of  Loew’s  Theaters  Inc. 

The  purchase  is  subject  to  the  ap- 
proval of  the  Federal  Communica- 
tions Commission. 

Signing  the  contract  were  Robert 
M.  Purcell,  president  of  Crowell- 
Collier  Broadcasting  Corporation, 
Lawrence  Tisch,  chairman  of  the 
board  of  Loew’s  Theaters  Inc.,  and 
Ax-thur  Tolchin,  vice  president  and 
general  manager  of  WMGM. 

One  of  the  most  powerful  stations 
in  the  New  York  Metropolitan  area, 
the  38-year-old  WMGM  transmits  at 
50,000  watts  and  operates  on  a fre- 
quency of  1050  kilocycles.  The  station 
maintains  studios  at  400  Park  Ave- 
nue, New  York. 

Crowell-Collier  already  owns  three 
radio  stations — KFWB  Los  Angeles, 
KEWB  San  Francisco-Oakland  and 
KDWB  Minneapolis-St.  Paul.  The 
company  has  also  entered  into  a con- 
tract for  the  purchase  of  WGMS 
(AM  and  FM)  serving  the  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  area.  Besides  Federal  Com- 
munications Commission  approval,  the 
purchase  of  the  Washington  station 
is  subject  to  the  settlement  of  certain 
legal  questions. 

Station  WMGM  will  be  operated 
under  the  supervision  of  Purcell.  A 
veteran  of  30  years  in  the  broadcast- 
ing industry,  he  has  been  with  Crow- 
ell-Collier since  1956  when  the  com- 
pany entered  the  radio  field  with  the 
purchase  of  KFWB  in  Los  Angeles. 

The  Crowell-Collier  Publishing 
Company  in  July  purchased  a major- 
ity interest  in  The  Macmillan  Com- 
pany, one  of  the  nation’s  oldest  and 
largest  book  publishing  firms.  A 
merger  proposal  has  been  approved  by 
the  boards  of  the  two  firms  and  will 
be  submitted  for  approval  to  their 
respective  stockholders  in  December.

Attending  the  dinner  were  William 
Bullock,  vice-president  of  the  disk 
division  creation  department,  himself 
a member  of  the  25  Year  Club,  and 
Ed  Tuft,  personnel  vice-president; 
Frank  McClure,  director  of  organiza- 
tion development;  Jack  Burgess,  disk

Dealers:  Stock-Up  On  All 
Disks  in  Dec.,  Nathan  Says 

NEW  YORK— During  the  holiday 
selling  season,  dealers  should  main- 
tain their  year-round  inventory  as 
well  as  Christmas,  merchandise,  ac- 
cording to  King  Records  prexy  Syd 
Nathan. 

In  a recent  dealer  mailing,  Nathan 
said  that  “for  some  reason,  every  Dec. 
the  dealers  are  only  interested  in 
Christmas  merchandise  and  the  cur- 
rent selling  singles.  This  always  cre- 
ates a vacuum  right  after  Christmas 
and  from  our  own  experience  and  sur- 
veys  . . . we  feel  this  practice  is 
wrong.” 

Citing  a survey  of  250  “key  ac- 
counts and  larger  stores,”  89%  re- 
ported Dec.  as  their  biggest  volume 
month,  Nathan  said  that  “it  would 
seem  that  if  your  greatest  volume 
comes  during  Dec.  then  you  would 
need  your  greatest  inventory  and 
stocks  during  that  time.” 

By  not  stocking  in  depth  much 
other  than  Xmas  merchandise,  “this 
means  that  in  Dec.  a dealer’s  inven- 
tory of  regular  catalog  sellers  is  de- 
pleted dangerously  low  and  “by  the 
time  he  re-evaluates  his  stock,  deter- 
mines his  needs,  places  his  orders  and 
gets  the  merchandise  on  his  shelves, 
time  has  passed  and  sales  are  lost,” 
according  to  Nathan. 

Nathan  calls  for  a program  of 
“Don’t  be  afraid  to  buy  during  De- 
cember” just  “good  common  sense.” 
“We  have  proven  that  summer  busi- 
ness can  be  good.  . . . Dec.  business 
can  also  be  good  on  other  than  sea- 
sonal Christmas  mei-chandise.”

Denmark's  Best  Sellers

The  Cash  Box — November  26,  1960 


During  a recent  visit  to  Munich,  Berlin  and  Hamburg  it  was  a pleasure,  to 
meet  many  leading  personalities  of  the  German  record  and  music  publishing 
scene  and  to  find  that  both  are  sharing  the  general  post-war  boom  of  pros- 
perity. The  price  of  disks  in  Germany  is  much  the  same  as  England  with  the 
biggest  sales  going  to  pop  singles  and  EP’s  which  are  particularly  strong  in 
the  classical  field.  The  LP  market,  on  the  other  hand,  is  slow — the  price  being 
generally  too  high.  LP’s  by  one  particular  artist  appear  unprofitable  and  manu- 
facturers therefore  tend  to  issue  disks  of  varied  content  featuring  several 
artists.  Apparently  the  possible  loss  in  record  sales  and  royalties  resultant 
from  the  upsurge  in  the  popularity  of  tape  recorders  and  the  taping  programs 
is  a matter  of  concern  to  record  manufacturers.  A special  committee  made  up 
of  representatives  from  major  record  companies  and  GEMAR  is  being  formu- 
lated to  investigate  and,  if  possible,  remedy  the  situation. 

The  leading  record  stores  in  the  cities  visited  were  modern,  spacious  and  well 
equipped.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  unlike  England  the  sleeves  displayed 
in  browseries  actually  contained  the  records.  The  dealers’  main  problem  is 
shortage  of  staff  although  wages  are  relatively  high.  A notable  difference  be- 
tween our  two  countries  is  that  whereas  in  England  the  industry  is  operated 
primarily  from  one  center — London — in  Germany  leading  manufacturers  and 
publishers  are  decentralized  with  headquarters  in  towns  as  far  apart  as 
Munich,  Berlin,  Hamburg,  Cologne,  Frankfurt  and  Gutersloh.  Nowhere  can  be 
found  the  equivalent  of  New  York  or  London’s  ‘Tin  Pan  Alley.’ 

During  a visit  to  D.G.G.  in  Hamburg  I met  top  recording  star  Lolita  whose 
English  version  of  her  No.  1 German  hit  “Sailor”  (Kapp)  is  currently  climbing 
The  Cash  Box  Top  100.  She  has  already  waxed  another  title  in  English  as  a fol- 
low up.  Another  German  artist  with  a new  English  disk  for  the  U.S.  market  is 
Deutsche  Philips  star  Heidi  Bruhl  with  “Ring  Of  Gold”  released  in  the  States 
on  Epic  (the  original  German  version  has  sold  over  670,000).  London  manager 
Paul  Cave  is  bringing  Heidi  to  England  in  the  New  Year.  Her  first  appearance 
will  be  in  David  Nixon’s  “Showtime”  on  BBC  TV  on  January  8.  Encouraged  by 
Lolita’s  stateside  hit,  it  is  hoped  that  more  and  more  top  flight  continental  stars 
will  seek  to  enhance  their  reputations  in  the  international  field  by  re-recording 
their  original  hits  for  the  world  market.  American  and  British  stars  now  re- 
cording in  German  include  Connie  Francis  whose  latest  single  release  is  “Robot 
Man”  in  English  backed  with  a German  version  of  “Everybody’s  Somebody’s 
Fool  (Die  Liebe  1st  Ein  Seltsanes  Spiel),  and  Britain’s  Anthony  Newley  has 
a German  version  of  his  English  hit  “If  She  Should  Come  To  You”  backed  with 
“Charmaine.”  Top  teenage  star  Cliff  Richard  may  be  waxing  for  the  German 
market  “Nine  Times  Out  Of  Ten”  and  “Fall  In  Love  With  You.”  In  Hamburg 
I attended  the  Bravo  Musik-Box  star  concert  and  the  6,000  fans  present  re- 
flected the  popularity  and  drawing  power  of  recording  stars  Max  Greger 
(Polydor),  Lolita  (Polydor),  Laurie  London  (Eleetrola),  Will  Brandes  (Elec- 
trola),  Jan  and  Kjeld  (Ariola),  Maureen  Rene  (Polydor),  Ted  Herold  (Polydor), 
Ivo  Robic  (Polydor),  Detlef  Engel  (Teldec),  The  Honey  Twins  (Polydor),  Gus 
Backus  (Polydor)  and  Max  Kutta  (Polydor). 

In  Berlin,  accompanied  by  American  publisher  Paul  Siegel  of  Paul  Siegel 
Music  currently  riding  high  with  “Itsy  Bitsy”  and  “Four  Little  Heels,”  I visited 
top  teenage  star  Conny,  whose  latest  waxing  for  Eleetrola  “Midi  Midinette”  is 
now  on  the  German  charts.  Conny  told  me  she  is  to  record  the  flip  side  “Wer 
Wird  Der  Erste  Sein”  in  English.  Also  visted  the  magnifieient  lakeside  villa  of 
composer  Heino  Gaze.  Responsible  for  many  film  scores  Gaze  also  wrote  the 
current  German  chart  entry  “Kalcutta.”  Also  met  ace  composer  and  A & R 
Manager  Werner  Mueller  whose  latest  LP  “Top  Hits  in  Colour”  is  released  in 
Germany  on  Decca  and  in  America  on  London.  Mueller  has  just  completed  his 
first  single  aimed  at  the  international  market  “Tango  Barcelono”  for  release 
in  Germany  and  England  on  Decca  and  on  RCA  in  the  States.  Another  well 
known  conductor  I was  fortunate  enough  to  meet  was  Bert  Kaempfort,  whose 
Decca  recording  of  “Wonderland  By  Night”  is  a stateside  hit. 

Back  in  England,  Fred  Jackson  of  Planetary  Kahl  and  Tin  Pan  Alley  Music 
has  the  latest  release  by  The  Shadows  “Stranger”  on  Columbia.  Published  by 
Tin  Pan  Alley  the  disk  coupled  with  “Man  of  Mystery,”  now  in  the  English 
charts,  has  sold  over  80,000  in  its  first  week.  The  same  company  handle  the 
follow  up  to  Edith  Piaf’s  “Milord”  “C’est  Un  Homme  Terrible”  retitled  “Blue 
Eyed  Boy”  with  English  lyrics  by  Bunny  Lewis  (who  also  penned  the  English 
lyrics  for  “Milord”).  English  covers  by  A1  Saxon  on  Fontana  and  Georgia 
Brown  on  Decca.  Planetary  Kahl  publish  the  current  hit  from  The  Cash  Box 
Top  100  “You  Talk  Too  Much”  by  Joe  Jones  on  Columbia,  Frankie  Ford  on 
London  and  an  English  version  by  Johnny  Carson  on  Fontana. 

Following  the  first  performance  by  Gracie  Fields  of  her  latest  Columbia  re- 
cording “In  Jerusalem”  (a  French  melody  with  American  lyrics)  on  her  BBC 
TV  show,  publisher  Bert  Corri  of  Francis  Day  & Hunter  reports  enormous  reac- 
tion. 

The  Decca  Record  Company  hosted  a party  recently  for  Henryk  Szeryng,  the 
world  famous  Polish  born  violinist  now  a Mexican  citizen.  Szeryng  made  his 
London  debut  last  year.  Still  in  the  classical  field  Decca’s  all-star  record  of 
“Die  Fledermaus”  has  received  excellent  reviews  and  sales. 

Decca’s  top  rock  ‘n’  roll  star  Tommy  Steele  received  enthusiastic  notices  for 
his  performance  as  Tony  Lumpkin  in  the  Old  Vic  production  of  “She  Stoops  To 
Conquer.”  Alma  Cogam  currently  holidaying  in  New  York,  appears  in  ATV’s 
“Saturday  Spectacular”  on  November  26th.  Co-starring  is  Parlophone  record- 
ing star  Adam  Faith.  Danish  stars  Nina  & Frederik  and  The  Malcom  Mitchell 
Quintet  are  among  Alan  Melville’s  guests  in  the  BBC  TV  programme  “Parade” 
on  November  23.  Continuing  his  big  star  policy  at  The  Pigalle  A1  Burnett  pre- 
sents American  comedy  star  Jack  Carter  for  a four-week  season.  Also  on  the 
bill  American  TV  singers  The  Barry  Sisters. 

ABC  TV  have  engaged  a galaxy  of  stars  to  appear  in  their  special  Christmas 
Day  program,  “Alice  Through  The  Looking  Box” — a modern  version  of  Lewis 
Carroll’s  Alice  In  Wonderland  where  Alice  played  by  Jeannie  Carson  discovers 
a world  of  wonder  inside  her  television  set.  Other  characters  are  to  be  played 
by  famous  names  including  disk  stars  Harry  Seacombe,  Adam  Faith,  Joe 
Henderson,  Spike  Milligan  and  d.j.  Pete  Murray. 

ABC  TV  cameras  will  visit  factories  throughout  the  country  for  their  new 
series  “Sing  Along  With  Joe”  featuring  Pye  recording  artiste  Joe  Henderson. 
Commencing  November  20  the  program  will  include  songs  old  and  new  and  a 
parade  of  pops  sung  by  Valerie  Masters,  Don  Rennie  and  The  Kentones  vocal 
group. 

Following  the  publication  by  Penguin  Books  of  D.  H.  Lawrence’s  contro- 
versial novel  “Lady  Chatterley’s  Lover”  Caedman  Records  release  an  LP  re- 
cording of  selected  readings  from  the  book.  Planned  and  completed  some 
months  ago  the  readings  by  Pamela  Brown  are  mainly  concerned  with  the 
character  and  thoughts  of  Lady  Chatter  ley.  Available  on  November  30  retailing 
at  39/9d. 

Coinciding  with  the  screening  of  the  first  “Ken  Dodd  Show,”  in  a new  BBC 
TV  series,  Decca  has  released  the  singer/comedian’s  second  disk  “Dream  That 
I Love  You.”

It  just  doesn’t  take  long  for  a new  Freddy  record  to  get  off  the  ground  here. 
His  newest  release  “Weit  1st  Der  Weg”  has  only  been  out  for  3 weeks  as  of 
this  writing  and  has  already  moved  over  the  200,000  mark.  As  far  as  radio 
plays  are  concerned,  he  is  in  2nd  position  in  the  Radio  Luxemburg  hit  parade, 
and  in  Stuttgart  this  week,  his  song  took  50.8  percent  of  all  the  requests  or 
2,692  letters.  Freddy  hasn’t  had  a single  here  which  has  gone  under  a half  a 
million  and  he  is  also  a top  film  attraction.  He’s  young,  handsome  and  talented, 
and  he  still  has  yet  to  get  a stateside  hit.  Watch  out  America,  this  boy  has 
to  break  through  sometime,  and  when  he  does,  watch  him  climb  to  the  top.  By 
the  way,  Freddy  speaks  excellent  English  with  an  American  accent. 

Peter  Kraus  has  a new  TV  show  going  for  him  December  10.  The  show  is 
called  simply  “Your  Peter  Kraus.” 

The  big  ball  given  annually  by  the  press  was  recently  held  and  American 
Bill  Ramsey  was  the  feature  attraction.  Big  Bill  who  sings  with  a great  drive 
has  been  living  here  since  he  left  the  U.  S.  Army  and  his  job  as  DJ  on  AFN. 
Now,  he’s  one  of  Germany’s  top  attractions  and  record  stars.  He  also  does  a 
weekly  DJ  stint  on  Radio  Luxemburg.  Here’s  another  attraction  with  great 
possibilities  for  the  England-America  market. 

Connie  Francis,  who  has  sold  over  250,000  of  her  first  German  recording 
which  was  “Everybody’s  Somebody’s  Fool’  or  “Die  Liebe  1st  Ein  Seltsames 
Spiel,”  has  already  recorded  her  newest  American  smash,  “Many  Tears  Ago” 
in  German.  Tobby  Lueth  handled  the  lyrics  for  this  country,  and  advance  re- 
ports predict  another  big  one  for  Connie  in  this  market. 

Lolita,  who  is  hitting  the  Top  100  with  her  recording  of  “Sailor,”  is  back  in 
the  top  ten  here  with  her  version  of  Anita  Bryant’s  “My  Little  Corner  of  the 
World”  in  German. 

Polydor  took  top  honors  in  the  radio  Luxemburg  hit  pai'ade  last  week.  They 
took  8 of  the  top  12  positions. 

On  November  26,  German  TV  will  broadcast  a big  music  show  from  Berlin 
called  “We  Make  Music.”  Featured  in  the  show  are  Caterina  Valente,  Silvio 
Francesco,  Christa  Williams,  Vico  Torriani,  Klaus  Wunderlich,  Edmundo  Ros 
and  his  Orchestra  and  Hubert  Deuringer.  All  record  under  the  Telefunken-Decca 
banner. 

Mario  Del  Monaco  has  just  finished  a concert  tour  of  Germany  with  great  suc- 
cess. Standing  room  only  was  reported  in  every  city.  He  has  also  just  finished 
his  first  German  language  recording  of  “Bella  Linda”  b/w  “Verro”  for  the 
Decca  label  here.  French  star  Bob  Azzam  also  makes  his  first  appearance  on 
Decca  with  the  great  old  favorite,  “Till,”  sung  in  German.  He  hit  the  world 
charts  recently  with  his  “Mustafa.”  There  are  very  few  new  Christmas  songs 
being  cut  for  the  new  season  here.  All  of  the  record  firms  are  planning  to  rely 
on  their  standard  catalog  and  the  new  pops  being  rushed  out  for  the  season. 

Warner  Bros.  Bobby  Weiss  just  completed  a jet  tour  of  Europe.  Bob  covered 
Hamburg,  Germany,  Helsinki,  Finland,  Stockholm,  Sweden,  Oslo  Norway,  Co- 
penhagen Denmark,  London  and  Paris  in  the  record  time  of  5 days.  Although  it 
sounds  like  a repeat  of  the  Jules  Verne/“Around  The  World  In  80  Days”  story, 
Bob  reports  that  the  trip  was  highly  successful. 

The  Bavarian  jodel  king  Franzl  Lang  has  just  opened  his  own  “Wine  House” 
in  Munich,  the  Bavarian  capitol.  Finest  quality  beer,  wine  and  jodeling  are  the 
attractions. 

Here’s  a few  more  statistics  for  interested  parties.  Germany  has  850  dance 
schools  with  over  300,000  pupils.  A poll  was  taken  recently  and  showed  that 
30%  of  the  students  listed,  the  tango  as  their  favorite  dance,  30%  listed  the 
waltz  and  the  other  40%  listed  the  other  dance  forms.  27%  of  all  the  pupils 
were  against  rock  and  roll.  90,000  members  of  Teenage  clubs  took  a poll  re- 
cently to  find  the  favorite  record  and  film  stars  of  the  German  teenager  group. 

Here  are  the  winners.  The  top  3 gals  were  Sabine  Sinjen, — actress,  Conny — 
recording  star-actress,  and  Heidi  Bruhl — recording  star-actress.  The  three  men 
were  Peter  Kraus— records-actor,  Rex  Gildo — records-actor,  and  Klaus  Wilke — 
actor,  in  that  order. 

Germany  is  now  full  of  American  film  stars  making  films  here.  Kirk  Douglas 
is  iiere  for  “Town  Without  Pity,”  Esther  Williams  and  Cliff  Robertson  are  mak- 
ing “The  Big  Show,”  a circus  film  featuring  the  famous  German  circus  “Circus 
Krone”  and  Tina  Louise,  Howard  Keel  and  Earl  Hollyman  are  here  for  work  on 
the  film  “Armoured  Command.”  The  reasons  for  filming  here,  besides  the  fine 
sets  in  Europe  are  mainly  reduced  production  costs.  Just  as  an  example,  it 
costs  4 dollars  an  hour  for  a musician  on  a session  here.  The  powerful  radio 
network  of  the  U.S.  Armed  Forces,  AFN  has  a new  show  called  “Songs,  Sinatra 
and  Strings.”  As  the  name  implies,  Frank  Sinatra  is  featured.  The  show  is 
broadcast  weekly  out  of  Orleans,  France  with  Robin  Sunde  handling  the  DJ 
chores. 

Publisher  August  Sieth  has  picked  up  “Midnight  Lace”  for  Germany.  There 
are  5 versions  on  the  market  here  at  present.

number  8 position;  Hello  Young  Lovers  is  number  14  and  My  Home  Town 
number  26.  It’s  sure  a big  time  now  in  Belgium  for  Anka,  his  record-company 
ABC-Paramount  and  music  publishers,  Spanka  Music,  Brussels. 

The  five  best  selling  single  records  of  Fonior  S.A.,  Brussels,  in  October  were:

Mercouri)  and  the  best  selling  LP:  “Les  enfants  Du  Piree”  (Dalida). 

The  Blue  Diamonds,  Riem  (17)  and  Rudy  (19)  de  Wolff,  were  practically 
unknown  a year  ago,  but  are  now  top  stars  in  Dutch  show  business  and  on

“Ramona”  single  (c/w  another  oldie,  “All  Of  Me”)  looks  like  a hit  in  Ger- 
many and  England,  too.  In  the  States,  the  deck  has  been  issued  on  the  London 
label  (see  review  in  The  Cash  Box  “Pick  of  the  Week,”  November  5).  65,000

TV  film  of  the  Amsterdamse  Politie  Kapel  (Amsterdam  Police  Band).  This 
very  popular  band,  which  plays  regularly  for  Dutch  radio,  has  recorded  for 
L.  C.  Phonogram  many  marches  and  hits-in-marchtime  on  the  Decca-label. 

Messrs.  Hans  van  Zeeland  and  Henk  van  de  Haar  of  C.  N.  Rood  L.  C., 
Rijswijk,  strengthened  their  contacts  in  Belgium  while  visiting  the  Bob  Azzam 
show  in  Belgium. 

The  Skyrockets,  the  exciting  Dutch  rock  combo  under  contract  with  C.  N. 
Rood  L.  C.  and  whose  records  are  issued  in  the  U.S.  also,  will  make  a big 
tour  through  Denmark,  including  radio-  and  TV-appearances. 

Recently,  the  Dutch  AVRO  television  presented  the  Perry  Como  show,  which 
featured  Bobby  Rydell,  the  talented  and  youthful  songster  in  his  great  Volare 
act.  Robert  Oeges,  Bovema’s  Columbia  label  manager,  told  The  Cash  Box  that 
the  appearance  of  Rydell  on  Dutch  TV  stimulates  the  sales  of  Bobby’s  records 
in  Holland. 

Columbia’s  A&R  producer  and  conductor  Norrie  Paramor  will  fly  to  Holland 
within  short,  to  take  up  the  leadership  of  the  famous  Dutch  Cosmopolitan 
Orchestra,  which  will  serve  as  the  musical  background  of  the  One  Woman 
Show  of  Judy  Garland  on  December  10  in  the  Tuschinsky  Theatre  in  Amster- 
dam. 

Bovema’s  Capitol  has  just  finished  all  preparations  for  the  set-up  of  a na- 
tional quiz  around  the  motion-picture,  “Bells  Are  Ringing,”  in  close  cooperation 
with  MGM-Holland  and  the  Dutch  Telephone  Answering  Service.  A two-years’ 
subscription  on  this  service  and  a free  phone  call  anywhere  in  the  world  are 
among  the  prizes  for  the  winners. 

CNR  promo  man  Hank  Kervezee  joined  the  New  Orleans  Syncopators  when 
they  presented  the  mayor  of  Zaltbommel,  a picturesque  and  very  old  Dutch 
town,  with  their  CNR  recording  of  an  old  song  that  originated  there.  The  title: 
That  Very  Old  Town. 

One  of  Holland’s  best  loved  street  organs  is  De  Turk.  An  EP  record  has 
been  released  this  month  on  which  the  old  street  organ  is  heard  playing  four 
famous  waltzes  by  Viennese  waltz  king  Johann  Strauss:  Blue  Danube,  Vienna 
Blood,  Artists’  Life  and  Roses  Of  The  South.  It’s  on  Fontana  (L.C.) 

Other  recent  Fontana  releases  include  singles  by  the  accordion  duo  Sjeng 
Haeron,  Die  Zwei  Caballeros,  Liana  and  the  Canaries  (Oh,  Be  My  Baby  and  I 
Can  Forgive,  Liana’s  first  recordings  in  English)  and  Johnny  Mathis  (My 
Love  For  You).  Poppy  and  her  Pop-cats  are  expected  to  be  the  latest  teenager 
sensation.  Their  Fon tana-debut  record  has  I Wonder  If  You  Know  c/w  Please 
Help  Me,  I’m  Falling.  The  song  last  mentioned  is  growing  steadily  in  popu- 
larity in  the  low  countries.  A to  be  watched  pop  record. 

MGM  star  Vera  Lynn  doing  very  well  in  Holland  with  her  Accordion.  Fur- 
ther news  of  Bovema’s  MGM  staff  is  that  Ben  Hur  still  attracts  packed  houses 
and  that  the  same  development  is  expected  from  The  Subterraneans,  which 
will  be  highly  promoted  by  the  Dutch  press.  MGM  maintains  its  big  name  in 
both  the  motion-picture  and  the  recording  field.  A big  chance  for  reaching  the 
hit  parade  has  Bing  and  Satchmo  recording  of  Muskrat  Ramble.  Also  the 
runner-up  this  week  is  Connie  Francis’  Senza  Mamma,  says  Bovema’s  Frank 
Visser. 

An  unexpected  success  was  the  rendering  of  the  Addy  Kleyngeld  song  Will 
You  Stay  Forever  With  Me  by  the  Harmonia  Sisters  on  the  CNR  label.  Fast- 
selling EP’s  of  CNR  are  the  songs  in  the  Groningen  dialect  by  Martina  and 
four  modern  religious  songs  by  the  Fathers  of  Stein,  four  young  Catholic 
priests.  Elisabethan  Serenade,  sung  in  Dutch  by  the  popular  Selvera’s,  and  one 
of  the  few  vocal  versions  on  the  market,  is  already  becoming  a classic. 

Special  surprise  for  people  who  love  to  dance — and  there  are  few  people  who 
don’t — is  the  “Decca  For  Dancing”  LP  series.  Four  10”  LP’s  containing  real 
dance  music:  quicksteps,  waltzes,  mambo’s,  cha  cha’s  etc.,  by  Britain’s  best 
known  orchestras  in  this  field.  Record  buyers  will  be  eager  to  get  these  rec- 
ords, with  the  delightful  dance  music  by  Cyril  Stapleton,  Ted  Heath  and  Ed- 
mundo  Ros,  to  name  just  a few.  (L.  C.  Phonogram). 

The  stereo  records  of  His  Master’s  Voice’s  Edison-Award-winner,  Bizet’s 
opera  “Carmen,”  directed  by  Sir  Thomas  Beecham  was  a big  gasser  during  a 
performance  in  the  Rotterdam  Exchange  Building  a few  weeks  ago.  Expert  in 
the  opera  field,  Leo  Riemens,  provided  an  enthusiastic  audience  with  thorough 
explanation. 

Bovema’s  Columbia  label  is  riding  high  in  the  charts  with  Acker  Bilk’s 
Buena  Sera,  which  is  the  very  popular  today’s  version  of  Louis  Prima’s  earlier 
success.  The  number  is  also  very  popular  in  England,  says  Robert  Oeges,  Bo- 
vema’s Columbia  label  manager. 

Mercury  songstress  Damita  Jo’s  I’ll  Save  The  Last  Dance  For  You  is  a sure 
bet  for  the  hit  parade  in  Holland.  A European  premiere  is  Bovema’s  Columbia 
release  of  Chubby  Checker’s  Hucklebuck,  of  which  the  present  sales  figures 
are  “quite  satisfactory.” 

Pick  of  the  L.  C.  Phonogram  releases  on  the  London  label:  I shot  Mr.  Lee/ 
Untrue  love  by  The  Bobbettes;  Candy  Sweet/Delia  Gone  by  Pat  Boone;  Alvin 
For  President  by  The  Chipmunks;  Back  to  school/Don’t  Go  My  Love,  Don’t 
Go  by  Ritchie  Adams;  and  Save  The  Last  Dance  For  Me/Nobody  But  Me  by 

The  Drifters. 

The  Edison-Award  for  “popular  instrumental  international”  was  given  to 
Warner  Bros,  (and  not  MGM,  as  we  reported  mistakenly  in  our  issue  dated 
November  12.)  artist  Robert  Prince  for  his  recording  of  music  from  the  “West- 
side  Story.”

WHAT 

PHONOGRAM 
MEANS  TO 
HOLLAND’S 
RECORD 
INDUSTRY 


STREAMLINED 

SERVICE 


In  Holland’s  rapidly  growing  disk  market,  Phonogram’s  sales 
- of  such  top  labels  as  Decca,  Philips,  London,  Fontana  - 
exceed  the  combined  turnover  of  its  three  nearest  competitors. 

What  made  Phonogram  get  so  far  ahead  of  every  other 
record  company?  Sound  salesmanship?  Sure!  Separate 
sales  forces  for  each  one  of  its  labels?  That,  too.  But 
there’s  more.  Phonogram  has  the  know-how  and  the  equip- 
ment to  get  records,  with  accompanying  invoice,  on  their 
way  to  dealers  less  than  20  minutes  after  an  order  comes 
in.  Such  streamlined  service  means  bigger  and  faster  sales, 
especially  during  the  peak  period  around  Christmas  when 
as  many  as  1200  orders  are  processed  day  by  day. 

These  facts  are  worth  considering  if  the  matter  of  your 
representation  in  Holland  should  come  up.

Live  television  shows  originating  from  our  four  major  TV  stations  (two  in 
Sydney  and  two  in  Melbourne)  have  been  brought  to  a halt  over  a dispute  with 
the  Musician’s  Union.  The  Union  is  seeking  a fee  (a  percentage  of  the  original 
payment)  for  the  replaying  of  live  shows  that  are  video-taped  or  filmed  for 
later  screenings.  At  the  time  of  writing,  there  is  no  sign  of  a settlement  to  the 
dispute  which  has  already  put  two  leading  national  TV  shows  off  the  air  and 
has  also  caused  the  cancellation  of  several  important  live  shows  in  both  Mel- 
bourne and  Sydney.  The  trouble  is  between  commercial  television  and  the 
Musician’s  Union,  the  Government-operated  outlets  are  not  affected. 

Castle  Music’s  Joe  Halford  has  returned  to  Sydney  after  a hectic  promotion 
visit  to  Melbourne.  Joe  anticipates  big  things  with  the  Rolf  Harris  song,  “Six 
White  Boomers.” 

The  first  of  the  locally  recorded  disks  of  the  European  smash,  “Milord,”  has 
been  rush-released  by  W & C Records,  it  features  popular  TV  singing  star 
Gaynor  Bunning,  with  the  new  English  lyric  by  Bunny  Lewis.  “Milord”  is  pub- 
lished in  this  country  by  Belinda  Music,  Belinda’s  Tony  Brady  believes  the 
song  will  be  an  important  hit  throughout  Australia  and  New  Zealand.  Tony  is 
busy  promoting  the  Gaynor  Bunning  disk  of  the  song. 

RCA  Records  is  very  quick  off  the  mark  in  Australia  in  releasing  its  latest 
hits  from  the  United  States.  They  had  issued  Jim  Reeves’  “Am  I Losing  You” 
almost  at  the  same  time  as  it  appeared  in  America.  It  is  expected  that  they 
will  make  an  immediate  of  Elvis  Presley’s  “Are  You  Lonesome  Tonight.” 

RCA  could  easily  scoop  the  pool  during  the  peak  Christmas  buying  spree 
with  its  just-issued  album  of  Mario  Lanza  in  “The  Desert  Song.”  Lanza  has 
been  a top  album  artist  in  this  country  for  many  years,  his  “Student  Prince” 
album  ranks  as  one  of  the  all  time  best-selling  LPs  ever  to  be  released  in 
Australia. 

Nice  to  see  that  EMI  has  issued  the  Gene  McDaniels  single  “Green  Door” 
c/w  “The  Facts  Of  Life.”  The  release  is  on  the  London  label.  McDaniels 
created  a very  favorable  impression  upon  all  those  who  caught  his  act  on  the 
recently  completed  Lee  Gordon  Australian  Jazz  Festival. 

The  vast  EMI  organization  is  rapidly  warming  up  its  big  Christmas  release 
campaign.  They  have  just  issued  a whole  flock  of  seasonal  albums  including 
Nat  Cole’s  “The  Magic  of  Christmas”;  The  Kingston  Trio’s  “The  Last  Month 
Of  The  Year”;  “Joy  To  The  World”  by  the  Roger  Wagner  Chorale  and  “The 
Music  Of  Christmas”  by  the  Hollywood  Bowl  Symphony. 

Marty  Angus,  spearheading  the  currently  red  hot  sales  team  of  W & G 
Records,  announced  that  W & G would  represent  the  lush  professional  line  of 
the  American  Music  Minus  One  Company.  Angus,  just  back  from  a fact-finding 
tour  of  New  South  Wales,  states  that  initial  dealer  reaction  to  the  line  was 
“encouraging.”  The  MMO  series  will  be  handled  by  the  W & G-owned  teams 
in  New  South  Wales,  Victoria  and  Tasmania,  whilst  W & G’s  normal  services 
will  handle  the  line  in  South  Australia  and  Queensland.  Initial  U.  S.  negotia- 
tions were  handled  by  W & G’s  Jimmie  Parks. 

In  a statement  to  the  press,  Ron  Gillespie  of  W & G Records  announced  the 
pacting  of  W & G and  Kem  Records;  following  negotiations,  W & G will  repre- 
sent Kem  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand. 

The  Myer  Music  Bowl  was  the  scene  on  Sunday,  October  30,  of  “The  Story 
Of  Jazz,”  a two  and  a half  hour  jazz  concert  about  the  progression  of  jazz, 
employing  six  Melbourne  groups:  Les  Barnard’s  Famous  Jazz  Band;  The  Mel- 
bourne New  Orleans  Jazz  Band;  Paul  Marks  Folk  Singing  Group — a special 
mainstream  group — The  Brian  Brown  Quintet  and  the  new  Bruce  Clarke  Big 
Band. 

This  was  the  first  time  that  jazz  had  been  allowed  into  The  Myer  Music 
Bowl  and  a crowd  of  60,000  turned  up  to  hear  the  story  and  the  sounds.  Myke 
Dyer  presented  the  program,  tracing  the  various  sounds  from  Scott  Joplin  to 
Gil  Evans.  Clarke’s  Big  Band  climaxed  the  afternoon  with  his  18-piece  band  of 
Melbourne  musicians  playing  compositions  and  arrangements  of  Bill  Russo, 
Jimmy  Guiffre,  Gil  Evans,  Randy  Weston,  Manny  Albam  and  Clarke  himself. 

Dyer  also  compared  the  recent  Melbourne  series  of  Lee  Gordon’s  Australian 
Jazz  Festival  and  has  a weekly  jazz  session  “Sound  Study”  from  Station  3XY, 
this  program  will  shortly  be  celebrating  its  sixth  anniversary. 

An  interesting  jazz  release  by  EMI  on  its  Columbia  label  is  the  locally  pro- 
duced “Jazz  For  Beach-Niks”  Vol.  2,  featuring  The  Australian  All-Stars.  This 
release  follows  closely  on  the  heels  of  volume  one  in  the  series,  which  is  re- 
ported to  be  a best-seller  for  EMI.  Both  disks  are  worthy  of  release  to  a world 
market. 

Johnny  Preston  doing  well  here  with  his  new  Mercury  single  of  “Charming 
Billy.”  Preston  caught  big  sales  here  previously  with  “Running  Bear,”  “Cradle 
Of  Love”  and  “Feel  So  Fine.” 

The  first  release  of  EMI’s  “Concert  Classics”  range — a fine  series  of  12" 
albums  retailing  at  39/6 — consists  of  ten  previously  unissued  disks.  A move 
such  as  this  from  the  vast  EMI  group  of  labels  could  prove  to  be  the  driving 
force  in  eventually  bringing  about  a general  decrease  in  regular  album  prices. 
Many  record  company  executives  in  this  country  firmly  believe  that  retail 
prices  must  all  be  cut — some  advocate  a drastic  reduction — in  order  to  help 
the  common  cause  of  the  record  industry  to  further  popularize  records  as  an 
entertainment  medium.  They  point  out  that  the  current  popularity  of  EP’s  is  a 
perfect  illustration  of  their  beliefs.  EP’s,  which  retail  at  an  average  of  around 
16/.,  are  consistently  in  demand. 

Latest  singles  from  Festival’s  Top  Rank  label  includes  Freddy  Cannon’s 
“Humdinger’’;  “Hush  Hush”  by  Jimmy  Reed;  “Come  Back”  by  Jimmy  Clanton 
and  “Tonight’s  The  Night”  by  The  Shirelles.  A Top  Rank  album  getting  a good 
share  of  air-play  is  “A  String  Of  Pearls”  by  The  Knightsbridge  Strings,  this 
LP  could  easily  develop  into  a good  sales  item  throughout  Australia. 

Johnny  O Keefe’s  latest  single  for  the  Lee  Gordon  label  carries  the  wild 
rocker  “Ready  For  You”  which  was  recorded  in  the  United  States  and  a fine 
version  of  “Save  The  Last  Dance  For  Me”  which  was  recently  cut  in  Sydney. 
O’Keefe’s  previous  single,  “Come  On  And  Take  My  Hand”  c/w  “Don’t  You 
Know,”  has  just  finished  a successful  run  in  the  Top  Ten  across  the  nation.

At  the  end  of  1960,  Italian  I.F.P.I.  will  vote  for  the  posts  of  president  and 
secretary.  Mr.  Trinelli,  who  heads  the  Cetra  Record  House  in  Turin,  is  pres- 
ently the  president,  while  Mr.  Frachetti  is  the  secretary.  Frachetti,  author  of 
the  column  “Italian  Record  Production  From  1957  To  1958”  in  The  Cash  Box 
Anniversary  Issue,  assured  me  that  he  will  be  able  to  supply  me  with  the 
figures  of  1959  in  time  to  be  published  in  the  Christmas  edition  of  The  Cash 
Box.  He  did  tell  me  that  record  sales  dropped  in  1959. 

On  November  19,  Curci  Music  Publishing  House  will  offer  a dinner  party  at 
the  Continental  Hotel  to  celebrate  its  100th  anniversary.  The  only  other  music

The  showing  of  “Can  Can”  in  Milan  goes  on  successfully,  as  well  as  the 
soundtrack  LP  on  VCM.  They  have  sold  10,000  albums  and  it  is  fast  climbing 
towards  the  mark  of  VCM’s  strongest  selling  LP  in  the  sound  track  field.  This 
mark  was  reached  with  “High  Society”  from  1957  until  now. 

Mina  goes  on  being  the  star  on  the  Canzonissima  TV  Show.  Her  latest  per- 
formances on  the  show  were  “Tintarella  Di  Luna,”  which  topped  the  chart  for 
several  weeks,  and  “Folle  Banderuola,”  included  on  the  chart  more  than  once. 
A list  of  the  songs  the  audience  liked  most  was  announced  by  the  votes  of  the 
televiewers.  “Romantica”  by  Dallara  is  still  at  the  top  of  the  list. 

Domenico  Modugno’s  new  tune,  “Si,  Si,  Si”,  after  being  launched  in  the

ours.  She  attended  a cocktail  party  in  her  honor  at  Terrazza  Martini,  organ- 
ized by  Italian  Philips.  Her  recitals  in  Milan  proved  to  be  a real  success.  Ter- 
razza Martini  is  the  place  (50th  floor  of  a skyscraper  near  our  Cathedral) 
where  nearly  all  cocktail  parties  for  music  personalities  are  held,  for  instance, 
Marino  Marini,  Katyna  Ranieri,  Peppino  Di  Capri  and  Juliette  Greco  among 
the  most  recent  ones.  The  parties  are  freely  offered  by  Martini  & Rossi,  a house 
producing  Vermouth. 

A new  band  has  been  launched  called  The  Shadows  from  England.  Their

VCM. 

Mr.  Velona  of  the  Ri  Fi  Record  Company  announced  a cocktail  party  to  be 
held  towards  the  end  of  November  to  introduce  the  recent  record  production 
to  the  press.  Over  the  last  month,  they  waxed  thirty  new  sides.  Furthermore, 
the  cast  is  growing  due  to  the  signing  of  new  talent. 

The  song,  “Never  On  Sunday,”  is  a smash  here.  In  five  weeks  it  climbed  up 
the  Italian  chart  and  an  extraordinary  number  of  record  versions  are  simulta- 
neously available.  There  are  twenty  different  record  editions  of  this  Greek  tune 
on  our  market,  the  best  selling  of  which  are  listed  on  the  chart. 

1961  San  Remo  Festival  will  be  born  in  a red  hot  atmosphere,  just  as  the 
others  in  the  past.  Nothing  is  clear  and  decided  about  it  as  yet,  except  that 
this  world  famous  festival  successfully  built  in  ten  years  must  not  die. 

I had  an  interesting  conversation  with  Mario  Haddad,  who  represents  the 
following  record  lines  in  Lebanon:  Festival,  Bel  Air,  Atlantic,  Music,  Jolly, 
Verve,  Errato,  Kapp,  and  Everest,  and  distributes  United  Artists’  movies 
throughout  the  area.  Lebanon  has  1,750,000  inhabitants,  of  whom  750,000  live 
in  Beyrouth  and  the  others  in  the  country  around  the  city.  There  are  two  dif- 
ferent music  markets — a Western  music  market  and  an  Arabian  one.  Lebanon 
enjoys  a propsperous  economic  position.  They  have  two  radio  stations  of  the 
State,  one  private  radio  station  which  possibly  will  close  soon,  another  radio 
station  opens  next  year,  and  one  private  TV  station.  Here  are  some  figures 
given  me  by  Mr.  Haddad  to  make  the  capacity  of  45  RPM  record  absorption  in 
his  territory  clearer:  “Mustafa”  by  Bob  Azam  sold  40,000  copies,  “Histoire 
D’Un  Amour”  by  Dalida  sold  23,000,  “Shish  Kebab”  by  Ralph  Marterie  on 
Mercury  sold  18,000,  “Luna  Caprese”  on  Festival  sold  17,000,  “Ciao  Ciao  Bam- 
bina”  by  Domenico  Modugno  sold  12,000,  “Diana”  by  Paul  Anka  sold  8,000, 
“Volare”  by  Modugno  sold  7,000,  “Guarda  Che  Luna”  by  Fred  Buscaglione  on 
Italian  Cetra  sold  4,000.  As  to  LP’s  “The  Platters”  sold  1,500  copies,  as  well  as 
Azam’s  LP.

“MIDNIGHT  IN  HEAVEN”  (2:15)  [Starday  BMI— Copas] 
“SETTIN’  FLAT  ON  READY”  (2:35)  [Starday  BMI— Copas,  Marvin] 
COWBOY  COPAS  (Starday  528) 


With  “Alabam”  still  riding  high,  Cope  is  back  in  top  form  for  another 
solid  attack  on  the  listings.  Side  that  should  do  it  first  is  the  affectionate, 
soft-spoken  “Midnight  In  Heaven”  affair,  yet  the  rollicking  “Settin’ 
Flat  On  Ready”  date  should  not  be  underrated  for  it  follows  Cope’s 
strummin’  work  on  “Alabam.” 


“I’M  A PRISONER  OF  LOVE”  (2:51)  [Acuff-Rose  BMI— Butler] 
“FOR  THE  FIRST  TIME”  (2:30)  [Marty’s  Music  BMI— Spurlock] 
CARL  BUTLER  (Columbia  41869) 

Butler  has  a sure-fire  money-maker  in  “I’m  A Prisoner  of  Love,”  a tra- 
ditional weeper  that’s  brilliantly  sung  by  the  artist.  His  genuinely  con- 
vincing delivery  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired.  Watch  it  soar.  Another 
good  ballad  is  “For  The  First  Time”  on  the  lower  portion.  Could  well 
be  a sales-getter. 


“JUDGE  NOT”  (2:10)  “ARE  YOU  TEASING  ME”  (2:15) 

[Acuff-Rose  BMI — [Acuff-Rose  BMI — Louvin  Bros.] 

Carter,  Dinning] 

MARGIE  BOWES  (Hickory  1135) 

The  thrush  has  a double  opportunity  to  return  as  a chart  topper  with 
either  end  of  this  Hickory  outing.  The  slight  edge  is  given  to  “Judge 
Not,”  a ballad  which  the  Miss  wrings  out  in  true  country  style,  but  “Are 
You  Teasing  Me,”  a slightly  faster  paced  weeper,  also  has  earmarks  of 
a hit.  Pick  ’em  at  even  odds. 

IIIIIIIIIIII!lllllllilllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIII 


GRANDPA  JONES  (Monument  430) 

(B-f)  “I  DON’T  LOVE  NOBODY” 
(1:45)  [G-J  BMI — Arr.  Jones] 
The  oldie  is  given  a contagious  re- 
vamping by  the  lovable  Grandpa  and 
with  his  “Swinging  Grandchildren”  he 
gives  it  a rousing  jubilation  sendoff. 
Has  excellent  spin  value. 

(B-f)  “HIP  CAT’S  WEDDIN’  ” 
(2:18)  [Acuff-Rose  BMI — Bry- 
ant] This  Boudeleaux  Bryant  ditty  is 
ideally  suited  for  Jones’  comical 
style.  It’s  a bouncy  blueser;  rates  con- 
sideration. 


LONZO  & OSCAR  (Starday  523) 

(B-f)  “PUNKIN  RAISER”  [Star- 
day  BMI— Scarlett,  Fikes] 
The  unmistakable  harmony  of  the  vet 
team  is  a genuine  treat  as  they  sing 
affectionately  of  their  small  town  up- 
bringing. They  have  a strong  follow- 
ing which  should  mean  loot  here. 

(B)  “TAKIN’  A CHANCE  WITH 
YOU”  [Lonzo  & Oscar  BMI— 
Morris,  Hodges]  Romance  is  the  sub- 
ject now  and  they  do  it  up  in  a de- 
lightfully swinging  pop-like  manner. 


VINCE  LeBEAU  (Rodeo  269) 

(B)  “IS  THERE  A CHRISTMAS 
IN  HEAVEN”  (2:42)  [Rodeo 
BMI— LeBeau]  Sentimental  country 
Christmas  offering  features  LeBeau ’s 
attractive  warbling  backed  up  very 
effectively  by  just  one  guitar.  This 
fact  is  the  mood  clincher  and  could 
get  it  around. 

(C-f)  “WALK  SLOWLY  STRAN- 
GER” (2:45)  [Rodeo  BMI— 
LeBeau]  Haunting  warning  of  love  is 
read  with  feeling. 


PAUL  WILLIAMS  (Decca  31186) 

(B-f)  “WHAT  WAS  I SUPPOSED 
TO  DO”  (2:40)  [Champion 
BMI — Williams,  Humphrey]  Williams 
makes  his  Decca  debut  and  from  his 
performance  here,  looks  like  a future 
contender.  This  end  is  a fairly  fa- 
miliar country  ballad  but  the  singer’s 
resoundingly  heartfelt  delivery  sets  it 
in  a favorable  light.  Has  potential. 

(B)  “DEEP  RIVER”  (2:35) 
[Champion  BMI  — Williams, 
Humphrey]  More  tears  from  Wil- 
liams, though  it’s  a swinger  here. 
Solidly  belted  session  with  enough 
playability.  Tune  is  not  the  same  as 
the  old  spiritual. 


SLIM  WAKEFIELD  (Walco  742) 

(B-f)  “IT’S  YOUR  LIFE  (YOU’RE 
RUINING)”  (2:08)  [Clay- 
Lick  BMI — Wakefield]  A good  piece 
of  original  material  coupled  with  a 
fine  chanting  job  puts  this  release  into 
the  “sleeper”  category.  Should  get 
play. 

(B-f)  “NEVER  (IS  A LONG,  LONG 
TIME)”  (2:47)  [Clay-Lick 
BMI — Wakefield]  Again  Wakefield 
displays  a professional  touch  in  both 
the  writing  and  chanting  departments. 
Two  laudable  sides. 


RAY  PHILLIPS  (Vellez  1507) 

(C+)  “OUR  TOMORROW  ENDED 
TODAY”  (2:10)  [Velez  BMI 
— Orr]  An  ordinary  country  ballad  is 
sung  with  feeling  but  without  style  by 
Phillips. 

(C)  “I’D  BE  A FOOL  TO  KEEP 
ON  LOVING  YOU”  (2:50) 
[Vellez  BMI — Manship]  A brisk  turn 
in  the  western  swing  manner.

During  the  recent  convention,  writes  Slick  Norris,  Joe  Allison,  Liberty’s 
country  A&R  topper,  squeezed  in  enough  time  to  cut  four  sessions  at  Brad- 
ley’s studios.  Dates  were  with  Ray  Sanders,  Warren  Smith,  Billy  Strange  and 
Doyle  O’Dell.  Of  course  it’s  too  soon  to  say  anything  about  the  Smith  or  San- 
ders sides,  since  both  are  still  strong  in  chartsville,  but  Slick  cautions  to  be  on 
the  lookout  for  some  potent  material  from  Liberty  newcomers  Strange  and 
O’Dell.  Knowing  what  Allison  can  do  in  a recording  studio  (and  what  Slick 
can  do  on  the  promo  end)  we’re  well  aware  of  anything  new  from  the  Liberty 
stable — so  let’s  have  ’em  Slick!  . . . Lawton  Williams  pens  from  his  mike  at 


LAWTON  WILLIAMS 


JAMBOREE  SWEETHEARTS 
(Sue — Nancy — Linda) 


CONNIE  "TEX"  HAT 


KCUL-Houston  that  his  next  disk  outing  is  tabbed  for  the  Mercury  banner. 
Lawton  previewed  two  sides  for  Mercury’s  Shelby  Singleton  and  the  genial 
southern  rep  for  the  label  grabbed  them  up  quick.  Lawton  also  tells  us  that 
the  “Big  D Jamboree”  is  still  going  great  guns.  He  works  the  show  each  Satur- 
day night,  emceeing  a half-hour  portion  of  the  hour  show  over  KRLD-Dallas, 
a big  50,000  watter.  Says  they  have  the  smiling  Irishman,  James  O’Gwynn, 
lined  up  for  the  Nov.  19  edition.  . . . With  his  suitcase  bulging  with  contract 
blanks,  Top  Talent  general  manager  Jim  McConnell  heads  this  week  for  the 
annual  Outdoor  Convention  (didn’t  we  just  recuperate  from  one  convention?) 
in  Chicago,  merchandising  a big  new  stock  of  “Starpower  Shows”  for  the  ’61 
fair  season.  Next  month,  incidentally,  begins  Jim’s  36th  year  in  the  business 
end  of  this  thing  called  show  biz.  ...  Si  Siman  stretched  his  recent  Nashville 
visit  a week  beyond  the  end  of  the  Festival,  staying  in  tunetown  to  visit  with 
artists  in  behalf  of  Springfield’s  Earl  Barton  Music  pubbery.  . . . Also  from 
Don  Richardson  in  Springfield  is  the  interesting  news  that  Charlie  Brown, 
whose  well  known  Nashville  firm,  Brown  Radio  Productions,  introduced  Eddy 
Arnold  on  his  own  transcribed  radio  series  about  13  years  ago,  was  defeated 
in  the  Ozarks  while  attempting  to  return  to  the  U.S.  Congress  for  a third  term. 
Both  Brown  and  his  opponent  were  heavy  users  of  country  music  in  their  cam- 
paigns. 


We  reprint  here,  without  unnecessary  comment,  Hank  Snow’s  open  letter  to 
disk  jockies  which  he  so  kindly  requested.  “Dear  Disk  Jockies:  Due  to  the 
fact  that  I was  confined  to  bed  with  the  flu  and  missed  the  entire  disk  jockey 
convention,  the  only  one  I have  missed  in  nine  years,  I wanted  you  to  know 
that  my  most  sincerest  thoughts  and  good  wishes  were  with  you  every  minute 
of  the  convention.  May  I wish  for  your  continued  success  and  my  heartfelt 
thanks  for  what  you  have  done  throughout  the  year  of  1960  for  me  and  for 
every  artist  in  the  country  field,  in  helping  to  keep  country  and  folk  music 
where  it  is  in  the  eyes  of  our  international  public.”  . . . The  CMA’s  very  own 
Mrs.  Jo  Walker  passes  on  to  us  a letter  which  Connie  B.  Gay  received,  recently, 
and  we  feel  it  is  of  vital  importance  to  the  field.  The  letter,  from  Connie  “Tex” 
Hat  in  Austria,  tells  about  Connie’s  introduction  of  the  first  and  only  nation- 
wide (Austria)  country  music  program  in  Sept.  1958.  Response  was  so  great 
that  four  radio  stations  in  Germany  have  asked  him  to  make  his  program 
available  to  them  through  the  International  Program  Exchange.  Proof  is  also 
offered  by  the  fact  that  Connie  was  made  an  honorary  citizen  of  Texas  by 
Gov.  Price  Daniel.  Connie’s  problem  is  that  he  has  not  been  recognized  by 
American  record  companies  and  finds  it  extremely  difficult  to  get  hold  of  coun- 
try records.  We  think  that  with  just  a little  effort  on  our  parts,  Connie’s  prob- 
lem can  easily  be  solved,  and  it  would  do  so  much  to  further  the  international 
reputation  of  country  music.  So  let’s  get  with  it!  . . . Norman  Kelly  writes 
from  Franklin,  Pa.  that  the  Sandy  Lake  Jamboree  has  just  entered  what  looks 
like  a very  successful  Winter  season.  He’s  added  the  Jamboree  Sweethearts — 
Sue,  Nancy  and  Linda  Wagner — to  the  weekly  program,  and  reports  that  they’ve 
been  well  received  by  the  audiences.  The  girls,  all  sisters  of  Jamboree  headliner 
Junie  Lou,  will  appear  with  the  Pine  Hedge  Ranch  Hands  at  all  their  park  and 
fair  dates  as  well  as  any  scheduled  radio  programs. 


The  Jim  Denny  Artist  Bureau  announced  that  it  has  inked  Lonzo  & Oscar  to 
a management  and  booking  pact.  The  team  has  just  completed  its  first  book- 
ings through  the  Denny  office  with  p.a.’s  in  Lincoln,  Omaha,  St.  Joe  and  Kan- 
sas City,  Mo.  . . . Bill  Denny  also  newsnotes  that  Minnie  Pearl  will  put  in  an 
appearance  soon  at  the  Waldorf  Astoria  in  Nooo  York.  Unbelievable?  Well 
Denny  has  her  set  for  a banquet  at  the  plush  hotel  on  Nov.  23.  . . . Wanda 
Jackson’s  recent  sparkling  two-week  performance  at  Las  Vegas’  Golden  Nug- 
get has  netted  her  an  exclusive  long-term  contract  extending  through  1961. 
Wanda  and  her  newly-formed  group,  the  Party  Timers,  are  skedded  for  a re- 
turn to  the  Nugget  for  six  weeks  kicking  off  Dec.  15.  In  addition  she  has  20 
more  weeks  to  do  there  scattered  throughout  next  year.  The  Nugget’s  Bill 
Greene,  in  commenting  about  Wanda’s  great  new  act,  also  indicated  that  the 
club’s  plans  for  ’61  include  the  biggest  array  of  top  country  personalities  ever 
presented  in  Las  Vegas  “or  anyplace  in  the  world.”  He  said  it,  not  us.  Anyway, 
some  of  the  names  already  signed  include  Hank  Thompson,  Bob  Willis,  Pee 
Wee  King,  the  Judy  Lynn  Show  and  the  Miller  Bros.  . . . Koo-Koo  the  Kountry 
Kangaroo,  who  reportedly  has  over  40,000  world-wide  fan  club  members,  has 
been  named  ship’s  mascot  of  the  S.S.  Canberra,  a missile  carrier  out  of  Nor- 
folk. . . . Jimmy  Simpson  types  that  he,  the  wife  and  the  baby  will  make  the 
long  haul  from  Anchorage  to  Nashville  to  spend  Christmas  at  home.  Jimmy 
(KFQD)  plans  to  cut  a session  and  then  corner  someone  with  a pitchfork  to 
get  it  out.  Good  luck  boy!  . . . Dwight  Gordon  wants  all  to  know  that  he’s  left 
WEW-St.  Louis  and  is  now  with  KLOE-Goodland,  Kansas,  so  he  can  get  in 
touch  with  the  world  again.

Interest  In 
Vending  Grows 
At  All 
Levels 


We  have  observed  the  degree  to  which  coin  ma- 
chine firms  have  continued  to  enter  the  vending 
field  and  the  move  appears  to  have  many  interest- 
ing facets. 

First  off,  the  move  in  itself  contradicts  the  theo- 
ries of  many,  who  as  recently  as  ten  years  ago, 
argued  that  vending  requires  the  talents  of  an  al- 
together different  breed  of  businessman,  apart 
from  the  music-games  type,  if  there  is  such  a 
breed.  Second,  the  wholesaler  of  coin  machine 
equipment,  with  a vending  line  also  for  sale,  is  no 
longer  a novelty— every  Seeburg  distributor  in  the 
country  for  instance,  sells  vending  machines.  And 
lo  and  behold,  at  least  half  of  the  factory  giants  are 
turning  out  vending  machines  in  conjunction  with 
coin-operated  phonographs  and  amusement  games. 
Quite  a transition ! 

The  reason  for  this  change  is  obvious— greater 
income.  This  applies  to  the  operator  who  is  capable 
of  handling  vending  equipment  without  too  great 
an  increase  in  overhead.  It  also  applies  to  the  larger 
operator  or  distributor  who  is  equipped  with  the 
financial  backing  for  a larger  scale  entry.  In  many 
instances,  wholesalers  have  added  complete  vend- 
ing divisions  separate  from  their  music-games  busi- 
ness. Manufacturers  of  coin  equipment  are  merg- 
ing, buying,  or  are  being  absorbed  by  vending 
firms.  The  interest  in  this  field  is  growing,  with 
more  and  more  coinmen  carrying  this  interest  to 
action.  Attendance  at  the  recent  NAMA  seems  to 
have  confirmed  this  trend.  The  trend  will  continue 
with  more  coin  machine  wholesalers  appearing  on 
the  scene  with  vending  equipment  for  sale.  Ex- 
posure and  further  stimulation  must  result  in  the 
presence  of  a greater  number  of  music-games  peo- 
ple in  what  once  was  primarily  a “vending  indus- 
try” choice. 

Vending  has  been  typed  as  a business  that  is  still 
in  its  infancy.  Granted,  it  is  still  a child.  But  kids 
grow  fast  in  this  day  and  age.  Vending  has  come  to 
be  an  important  phase  of  the  coin  machine  business 
both  in  its  present  state  and  in  terms  of  potential. 
It  is  time  to  look  your  situation  over  and  decide  if 
vending  should  be  part  of  your  future.

ing a new  revolving  record  magazine 
designed  for  the  compact  juke  box|

CHICAGO — Alvin  Gottlieb,  D.  Gott- 
lieb & Company,  this  city,  announced 
the  release  last  week  of  Gottlieb’s  new 
“Flipper”  pinball  amusement  game, 
amid  considerable  ado  and  fanfare 
surrounding  Gottlieb’s  new  concept  in 
cabinetry  plus  a host  of  new  features. 

The  new  cabinet  brings  to  the  trade 
the  most  radical  “New  Look”  styling 
changes  from  the  Gottlieb  drawing 
boards  in  more  than  20  years. 

“We  bring  to  the  nation’s  operators 
‘tomorrow’s  design  today’,”  Gottlieb 
declared.  “And  in  this  ‘new  look’  con- 
cept we  are  making  it  increasingly 
easier  for  the  amusement  game  opera- 
tor to  bring  dime  play  into  all  loca- 
tions.” 

The  Gottlieb  firm  introduced  the 
new  “Flipper”  pinball  amusement 
game  after  considerable  testing  in  the 
field. 

He  added:  “This  new  cabinetry  puts 
forth  a great  stride  forward  for  us  in 
design,  and  carries  futuristic  styling 
up  face-to-face  with  the  player.  The 
high,  wide  and  handsome  tapered 
light-box  immediately  attracts  atten- 
tion in  any  location.  This  will  cer- 
tainly increase  incentive  for  dime 
play  in  locations  everywhere. 

“Another  important  attraction  is 
the  ageless  beauty  and  durability  ex- 
pressed in  the  stainless  steel  moldings 
throughout  the  entire  playfield  area, 
which  provides  an  appealing,  new  and 
scrubbed-clean  appearance  perma- 
nently. The  game  is  mounted  on 
sturdy  steel,  and  heavily  plated  legs. 
There  is  a hard  chrome  finish  corner 
casting  on  the  plungers  in  front  of  the 
cabinet  giving  players  a sure,  clean 
grip.” 

“Flipper”  offers  several  new  plus 
features  in  conjunction  with  the  “new 
look”  cabinet.  High  on  this  list  is  the 
new  “Hard-Cote”  playboard  finish 
which  assures  permanence  on  the  play- 
field. 

In  spelling  out  the  playing  features 
Gottlieb  stressed  the  importance  in  the 
Add-A-Ball”  extended  play  innovation, 
which  he  stated  is  the  first  really  new 
playing  feature  since  D.  Gottlieb  & 
Co’s,  introduction  of  the  super-pow- 
ered flipper.  This  skillful  player  func- 
tion adds  an  unlimited  number  of  balls 
to  each  game  depending  upon  the  skill 
of  the  player. 

As  if  this  lineup  of  pinball  innova- 
tions is  not  enough,  Gottlieb  contin- 
ued on  to  reveal  another  first  in  play 
appeal. 


records.  The  intermix  changer  is  op- 
tional equipment. 

The  Reverba-Sound  feature 
which  is  also  on  the  firm’s  standard 
size  phonographs  is  another  optional 
feature  of  the  small  size  unit. 

The  machine  is  designed  for  mount- 
ing on  a wall  in  locations  where  space 
is  limited. 


ALVIN  GOTTLIEB 


“We  also  offer  a new  high  score 
panel  on  the  lightbox  which  will  cer- 
tainly induce  action  and  promote  com- 
petitive play.  This  panel  allows  the 
player  to  insert  his  high  score  and  his 
name  with  a greased  pencil.  This  is 
truly  personalized  play!  The  score 
and  name  can  very  easily  be  changed 
each  time  a new  high  score  is 
achieved,”  Gottleib  said. 

In  actual  play  “Flipper”  presents  a 
playing  card  sequence  which  makes 
the  additional  balls  available  to  play- 
ers. High  score  also  makes  additional 
balls  available.,  Top  rollovers  deter- 
mine the  card  selected.  In  this  case 
making  the  card  in  action  on  the  play- 
field  awards  the  player  an  additional 
ball. 

Two  top  “Joker”  rollovers  light  al- 
ternately on  the  playfield.  Additional 
balls  are  available  to  the  payer  if  no 
card  is  selected.  In  the  event  that  a 
card  has  been  selected,  making  the 
lighted  “Joker”  turns  off  the  lighted 
card. 

There  are  two  super-powered  skill 
flippers  and  a host  of  other  popular 
Gottlieb  features.  The  over-all  play 
and  appearance  in  “Flipper”  offers  a 
great  deal  of  excitement  and  play  in- 
centive, according  to  Gottlieb.  He  also 
pointed  up  the  fact  that  preintroduc- 
tory  tests  in  several  random  locations 
created  immediate  acceptance,  and  re- 
sulted in  quantity  sales  among  Gott- 
lieb distributorships.

Irv  Ovitz  Rejoins  Atlas  Sales  Staff 


CHICAGO — Edward  A.  Ginsburg, 
president  of  Atlas  Music  Company, 
this  city,  announced  the  appointment 
this  past  week  of  veteran  coinman 
Irving  Ovitz  to  the  sales  staff  of  the 
local  Seeburg  distributing  firm. 

Ovitz  returns  to  Atlas  Music  Com- 
pany after  a lapse  of  many  years.  He 
first  entered  the  coin  machine  indus- 
try more  than  25  years  ago,  shortly 
after  Eddie  and  the  late  Morrie  Gins- 
burg founded  the  company. 

After  several  years,  during  Atlas 
Music’s  formative  years,  Ovitz  left  for 
a World  War  II  tour  of  duty  with  the 
United  States  Army.  After  his  sepa- 
ration from  war  time  duty  he  returned 
to  this  city  and  resumed  his  coin  ma- 
chine activities  in  his  own  distributor- 
ship. When  this  activity  ultimately 


terminated  he  then  spent  several  years 
with  the  Coven  Music  Company,  until 
recently. 

“We’re  certainly  delighted  to  have 
Irv  back  in  the  Atlas  fold  after  a 
lapse  of  so  many  years.  He  always 
was  an  asset  here,  and  got  along  very 
well  with  operators,”  said  Ginsburg. 

Ovtiz  amply  declared  his  happiness 
at  being  re-associated  with  Atlas  Mu- 
sic. He  said:  “I’m  extremely  happy  to 
return  to  Atlas  Music  and  renew  my 
friendly  relations  with  operators  all 
over  the  country. 

“As  previously,”  he  added,  “my  ob- 
jective will  be  to  service  our  operator 
customers  as  conscientiously  and  ex- 
peditiously as  I possibly  can.  The 
needs  of  the  operators  are  of  prime 
consideration  here  at  Atlas  Music.” 


Black  Sales  Increases  Volume  With 
Special  Type  Multiple  Installations 


Typical  of  the  new  type  outlets  for  coin-operated  equipment  in  New  York  City 
is  Art  Ford’s  ‘Bowl-A-Gallery’  in  Greenwich  Village.  The  location  features  food, 
amusement  machines,  and  oil  paintings  displayed  throughout  the  plushly  deco- 
rated interior.  Ford,  a disk  jockey,  promotes  the  location  via  show  business  con- 
tacts and  attendance  warrants  five  United  ‘Tip-Top’  bowlers  and  one  phonograph 

NEW  YORK— When  Irv  Holzman, 

Black  Sales  Company,  installed  five 
coin-operated  amusement  machines  in 
Johnny  Ray’s  “Bowl-A-Bite”  on  New 
York’s  eastside  he  had  no  idea  that 
this  was  the  start  of  a new  type  mar- 
ket for  his  United  amusement  ma- 
chines. 


Following  up  the  first  of  the  “Bowl- 
A-Bite”  installations,  Holzman  in- 
stalled five  more  machines  in  a sec- 
ond Ray  location  in  Great  Neck,  and 
the  decor  was  just  as  plush  as  the 
first.  On  the  heels  of  Ray’s  success 
came  a new  type  location  in  Green- 
wich Village,  owned  and  operated  by 
NBC’s  Art  Ford,  nationally  known 
disk  jockey,  and  featuring  oil  paint- 
ings for  the  egghead  patrons.  “Bowl- 
A-Gallery”  offers  food  and  games  — 
namely,  United  bowlers. 

Getting  away  from  the  unique  type 
location  and  returning  to  the  solid  ar- 
cade business,  Holzman  shipped  five 
“Bowl-A-Rama”  machines  to  Max 
Scheaffer,  owner  of  New  York’s  larg- 
est arcade.  The  coin-operated  game  is 
finding  its  way  into  the  most  unusual 
locations  in  New  York  and  is  report- 
edly meeting  with  success. 

The  change  in  setting  for  the  coin- 
operated  amusement  game  could  very 
well  be  the  answer  to  an  entirely  new 
market  for  coin  machines.  Evidently  a 
large  percentage  of  the  population 
have  never  had  the  opportunity  to  play 
the  games.  New  type  locations  may 
open  the  doors  to  this  new  patron. 


Interior  of  Great  Neck’s  “Bowl-A- 
Bite”  offers  fine  foods  and  several 
bowlers  and  shuffles. 


Johnny  Ray,  owner  of  Great  Neck  lo- 
cation, poses  for  a photo  with  Irv 
Holzman’s  daughter,  Arlene. 


Max  Schaeffer,  owner  of  one  of  New  York  City’s  largest  arcades,  located  just 
north  of  Times  Square,  recently  bought  five  United  “Bowl-A-Rama” ’s  from 
Holzman’s  firm  and  attracts  the  heavy  tourist  trade  from  the  Great  White  Way

‘illy  Releases  “Touchdown”  Bingo 


CHICAGO — Football  is  the  theme  of 
a new  bingo-style  pinball-game, 
■'‘Touchdown,”  announced  this  week 
by  Bill  O’Donnell,  general  sales  mana- 
ger of  Bally  Manufacturing  Company, 
this  city. 

“But,”  O’Donnell  emphasized,  “the 
nationwide  popularity  of  football  is 
not  the  main  reason  ‘Touchdown’  is 
destined  to  be  the  biggest  hit  ever 
built  in  the  bingo  class.  The  strong 
player-appeal  and  exceptional  earning- 
power  of  ‘Touchdown’  is  based  on  the 
sensational  new  Magic  Numbers  fea- 
ture. 

“We’ve  had  Magic  Squares,  Magic 
Curtains  and  Magic  Screens,  but  the 
new  Magic  Numbers  tops  them  all. 
The  card  on  the  “Touchdown”  back- 
glass  is  divided  into  4 areas  with  6 
numbers  in  each  area.  Each  area  is 
identified  by  a letter — A,  B,  C or  D — - 
which  light  when  coins  are  deposited. 
When  any  area  is  lit,  each  of  the  6 
numbers  in  the  area  may  be  shifted 
to  any  of  the  6 positions  in  the  area. 

“Magic  Numbers  are,  of  course, 
similar  to  the  famous  Magic  Squares 
of  ‘Broadway,’  ‘Big  Time,’  and  other 
great  Bally  games.  But,  because  each 
area  contains  6 Magic  Numbers,  in- 
stead of  only  4,  ‘Touchdown’  gives 
player  up  to  50  per  cent  more  number- 
juggling  scoring-flexibility.  In  fact, 
when  all  letters — A,  B,  C or  D- — -are 
lit,  every  number  on  the  card,  ex- 
cepting the  center  number — 16 — may 
be  shuffled  around.  And  the  stationary 
16  may  be  ‘spotted’  by  coin-play.

“Another  attractive  new  feature  is 
the  4-Stars  feature,  which  is  a mod- 
ernized version  of  the  time-tested 
Corners  feature.  Triple-deck  scoring 
— -with  red,  yellow  and  green  lines 
scoring  separately — Extra  Time,  by 
coin-play  or  rollover,  and  Extra  Balls 
are  other  profit-proved  Bally  features 
built  into  ‘Touchdown!’  Last  but  not 
least,  Pic-k-a-Play  push-buttons,  in- 
troduced with  such  great  success  in 
‘Roller  Derby,’  are  continued  in 
‘Touchdown.’ 

“Bally  engineers  have  really  packed 
a big  load  of  moneymaking  play-ap- 
peal into  ‘Touchdown’,”  which  is  why 
distributors  and  operators  who  pre- 
viewed the  game  are  convinced  that 
‘Touchdown’  will  top  all  previous 
Bally  bingo-style  games  in  play- 
appeal  and  long-life  earning-power.”

EASTERN  FLASHES 


Another  showing,  another  crowd,  and  last  week  the  crowd  was  at  Atlantic 
New  York  Corp.,  to  witness  the  unveiling  of  the  1961  Seeburg  phongraph  line 
featuring  Artist  of  The  Week  phonos  in  two  models — 100  and  160  selections. 
The  160  job  features  the  name  of  the  location  on  the  top  glass  and  the  first 
few  machines  out  on  location  have  reportedly  set  the  neighborhood  on  fire 
with  enthusiasm.  “Joe’s  Bar  and  Grill”  is  now  presenting  such  names  as  Si- 
natra, Twitty,  Como,  et  al,  and  he  no  doubt  is  very  proud  of  this  line-up  in 
his  tavern.  Sounds  as  if  this  personalized  feature  on  the  Seeburg  phono  has 
many  ramifications  and  advantages  to  it  both  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
operator  and  the  location  owner.  In  any  event,  it  is  obvious  that  the  new 
feature  is  stirring  up  excitement  and  sales.

in  current  coin  machine  routes.  . . . Bill  Slawe  and  the  boys  at  Model  Vending

sales  record  once  the  new  machine  is  announced.  . . . Jimmy  Sisti,  Libra  Dis-

soundproof  ceiling  and  all.  Morris  Rood  tells  us  the  room  is  coming  along 
nicely  and  should  be  finished  in  a few  weeks.  Marvin  Goldstein  has  sold  out 
those  speakers  we  mentioned  a few  weeks  ago  (designed  in  the  form  of  a 
painting),  and  reordered  immediately.  Irv  Kempner  nowhere  to  be  seen  last 
week.  Evidently  he’s  working  harder  than  ever.  Dosn’t  even  take  time  out  to 
come  into  the  office  to  add  up  his  sales!  “Shugy”  was  in  the  office  early  in  the 
week  and  commented  on  the  sales  of  games  and  pool  tables.  Pool  tables  are 
getting  rave  notices  from  all  corners  it  seems.  . . . Ted  Seidel  on  the  scene 
strolling  coinrow  in  search  of  Charley  Rubenstein.  . . . Al  Simon,  Albert  Simon, 
Inc.,  in  Mexico,  while  Al  D’lnzillo  handles  sales  on  the  ChiCoin  “6-Game”  and 
looks  forward  to  displaying  the  new  Rock-Ola  wall  model — a surprise  this  sea- 
son. Al  expects  the  ChiCoin  “Ray  Gun”  to  spur  business  in  the  arcade  depart- 
ment. Several  orders  on  new  Auto-Photo  machines  prompted  a re-order  to  the 
West  Coast  for  more.  . . . Irv  Holzman,  Black  Sales,  busy  with  business  while 
Lou  and  Whitey  Druckman  recondition  some  games  for  delivery  this  week. 


Nick  Melone  and  Sol  Lipkin,  American  Shuffleboard,  happy  over  recent  sales 
curves.  The  firm’s  “Imperial”  shuffleboard  is  going  stronger  than  ever.  . . . 
Abe  Lipsky,  Libra  Distribs,  away  from  the  office  for  a day  or  two,  with 
Harry  Koeppel  taking  over  and  reporting  that  things  are  moving  along  fine. 
. . . Jack  Gordon,  Seeburg  veep,  installed  another  “Artist  of  the  Week”  room, 
right  here  in  N’Yawk!  Its  in  the  Atlantic  NY  Corp.  showrooms  and  the  room 
is  a model  music  listening  spot.  Features  photos  of  various  artists  programmed 
on  the  Seeburg  phono  via  the  33-1/3  rpm  route,  with  a cozy  booth  for  four 
tucked  in  the  corner.  Booth  features  a wallbox  with  stereophones  attached  for 
personal  listening.  Just  another  idea  for  ops  to  mull  over  while  they  concern 
themselves  with  “how  to”  in  the  additional  income  dept.  As  visiting  ops 
strolled  into  the  Seeburg  showrooms,  Murray  Kaye  quickly  formed  their  names 
from  the  plastic  alphabet  available  for  such  purposes  and  displayed  the  op’s 
name  on  the  machine  in  bright  red  letters.  Howard  Herman,  Arthur  Herman, 
Bell  Music,  Lou  and  Mike  Tartaglia,  were  just  a few  of  the  ops  given  to  the 
personalized  treatment.  Meyer  Parkoff  served  a nice  spread  of  refreshments 
and  drinks  for  coinmen  during  the  3-day  Mon.-Wed.  affair.  Nice  time  had  by 
all.

The  Cash  Box — November  26,  1960 


CHICAGO  CHATTER 


There  seems  to  be  a notable  upsurge  in  interest  among  coinmen  for  the 
upcoming  42nd  annual  Parks  Show,  which  will  swing  open  Sunday,  November 
27,  and  run  through  Wednesday,  November  30,  at  the  Sherman  Hotel.  NAAPPB 
prexy  Bob  Plarr,  executive  secretary  John  Bowman,  et  al  assure  us  that  they 
are  going  all  out  to  make  this  exposition  and  conclave  the  biggest  ever  in  the 
organization’s  42  year  history.  Come  one!  Come  all! 

The  recent  release  to  the  trade  of  a rash  of  new  amusement  and  music 
equipment  coupled  with  a general  increase  in  collections  on  the  operator  level 
are  uniting  to  give  the  industry  a welcome  shot  in  the  arm  at  this  time.  When 
the  coins  really  start  to  jingle,  happy  smiles  are  generally  found  on  more 
faces  in  coinbiz.  . . . We  want  to  take  this  opportunity  to  welcome  old  coinbiz 
friend  Irv  Ovitz  back  into  the  fold.  Irv  is  now  back  at  his  old  stand  at  Atlas 
Music  Co.,  where  he  started  in  the  coin  machine  business  more  than  25  years 
ago.  Irv  hardly  broke  in  his  new  desk  at  Atlas  when  he  started  to  make  plans 
to  meet  all  his  old  operator  friends  at  the  Atlas  showing  of  the  new  Seeburg 
phono  last  Saturday  and  Sunday.  It  was  just  like  old  times  again,  eh,  Irv?.  . . . 
Seeburg  veepee  Jack  Gordon  hied  himself  to  Zurich,  Switzerland  where  he 
joined  with  Seeburg’s  vice-prez  in  charge  of  Seeburg  International,  George 
Gilbert,  to  emcee  a two  day  showing  of  Seeburg’s  1961  line  of  vending  ma-

chines,  phonos  and  background  music  equipment  at  the  Spirgarten  Hotel.  Stu 
Auer,  sales  manager  of  the  background  music  division  joined  Jack  on  the  jet 
flight  to  the  Alpine  paradise.  Another  overseas  showing  was  held  in  the  show- 
rooms of  Jose  Negroni,  Inc.  in  San  Juan,  Puerto  Rico,  hosted  by  W.  S.  Yen  Der 
Hoef,  assisted  by  Ed  Blanckenbeckler  on  the  same  dates. 

We  got  the  “call”  from  Bob  Plarr,  John  Bowman  and  Carl  Hughes  to  give 
a short  talk  during  the  Shop  Talk  Forum  at  the  NAAPPB  conclave.  Thanks, 
fellows,  we’re  more  than  happy  to  help  out.  . . . Fine  amusement  games  keep 
pouring  out  of  the  plant  at  Bally  Manufacturing  during  this  season  at  a week 
by  week  rate.  Last  week  Bill  O’Donnell,  Bally’s  genial  sales  manager,  an- 
nounced the  release  of  the  new  “Touchdown”  pingame.  Bill  and  vice  prexy 
Herb  Jones  cite  the  new  Bally  designed  “Magic  Numbers”  feature  over  and 
above  the  timely  popularity  of  football  as  the  prime  selling  feature.  . . . 
Speaking  of  football  reminds  us  of  the  purple  rage  noticeable  on  Bear  fan 
Joe  Robbins’  face  after  Baltimore  Colts  meanie  Lennie  Moore  snagged  the 
almost  impossible  sudden  death  pass  from  equally  mean  flinger  Johnny  Unitas 
to  whip  the  Chicago  Bears  in  the  last  few  seconds  of  the  game  last  Sunday. 
Bear  fans  have  coined  a phrase  hereabouts — “Unitas  we  stand  (Unitas  we 
fall!).” 

Art  Weinand,  sales  director  for  Chicago  Dynamic  Industries,  is  lining  up 
Chicago  Coin’s  array  of  amusement  games  for  showing  at  the  upcoming  Parks 
Show.  Mort  Secore  is  eagerly  looking  forward  to  the  show,  where  he  feels 
ChiCoin  games  will,  as  usual,  create  a lot  of  attention.  . . . Sam  Lewis  returned 
to  his  heavy  laden  desk  early  last  week  after  a short  business  sojourn  follow- 
ing the  NAMA  convention  in  Miami  Beach.  The  first  item  on  Sam’s  agenda  was 
to  release  Williams  Electronic’s  new  “Black  Jack”  pinball  amusement  game, 
featuring  an  exciting  playing  card  motif.  Williams  prexy  Sam  Stern  is  more 
than  delighted  with  immediate  response  received  on  this  game.  “Black  Jack” 
cabinetry  carries  a continuation  of  the  “Styling  of  the  60’s”  appearance  which 
has  created  so  much  interest  all  over  the  country. 

Phil  Moss,  head  of  Phil  Moss  Distribs,  Seeburg’s  distributor  in  Des  Moines 
and  environs,  is  so  taken  with  the  new  Seeburg  line  that  he  is  conducting  his 
showings  there  throughout  the  entire  week  of  November  12  thru  18.  Phil  will 
hold  a road  showing  at  the  Paxton  Hotel  in  Omaha,  Nebraska  Tuesday,  No- 
vember 22.  . . . Empire  Coin’s  Joe  Robbins  tells  us  Jack  Burns  and  his  lovely 
missus  departed  for  their  vacation  to  the  sunny  southland  last  week.  . . . 
We  never  saw  so  much  excitement  as  we  encountered  last  week  at  D.  Gott- 
lieb & Co.  when  we  dropped  in  to  get  all  the  facts  about  Gottlieb’s  new 
“Flipper”  pingame.  Alvin  Gottlieb  asserted  that  the  new  cabinet,  which  he  calls 
“tomorrow’s  design  today,”  is  already  creating  a lot  of  actvity  in  Gottlieb 
distrib  outlets.  A plus  feature  is  a “hard  cote”  finish  on  the  playfield  which, 
Alvin  sez,  is  practically  impervious  to  wear.  In  scoring  and  play  features  he 
cites  the  new  “Add-A-Ball”  feature  as  a “great  advancement.”  (It  is  explained 
more  in  detail  in  a story  elsewhere  in  this  issue.) 

Keeney’s  vice  prexy  Paul  Huebsch  info’s  that  Keeney’s  entire  line  of  up- 
rights is  enjoying  a banner  season.  He  reminds  us  that  the  “Panascope 
Viewer,”  which  was  first  introduced  by  Keeney  last  February  is  the  original 
version  of  this  very  popular  new  type  of  viewing  equipment  widely  used  on 
upright  amusement  games  these  days.  ...  We  find  it  increasingly  more  diffi- 
cult to  see  Clarence  Schuyler  at  Games,  Inc.  these  days.  Chief  reason,  of  course, 
is  that  Clarence  is  too  busy  producing  and  shipping  Games’  new  “Trail  Blazer” 
electronic  upright  game.  It  is  a very  popular  piece  all  over  the  country.  . . . 
Henry  Barnas,  head  of  Standard  Harvard  Co.,  beckons  visitors  at  the  NAAPPB 
show  to  stop  at  booth  #185  and  demonstrate  the  Standard  Harvard  Metai-

typer.  . . . Ed  Doris,  George  Hincker  and  Frank  Mitchell,  Rock-Ola  Mfg’s. 
busy  men-in-motion,  who  haven’t  stood  still  for  lo  these  many  months,  are 
finally  due  back  in  the  offices  at  Rock-Ola  Friday,  Nov.  18.  Recently  they 
escorted  a group  of  their  distribs  and  their  families  to  a brief  vacation  in  ex- 
otic Acapulco,  Mexico.  This  was  a reward  for  the  splendid  job  Rock-Ola’s 
distribs  accomplished  in  selling  the  new  line  of  phonos.  Les  Rieck,  Art  Janou- 
sek  and  Kurt  Kluever  kept  tabs  on  the  sales  dept,  during  the  absence  of  this 
itinerant  trio. 

Joel  Stern  and  Len  Micon  are  simply  overjoyed  over  their  results  thus  far 
with  Rock-Ola’s  “Regis”  phono.  Business  is  just  beginning  to  pick  up  at  World 
Wide  Distribs,  and  Joel  hopes  to  finish  off  this  year  of  1960  with  a big  smile 
on  his  face.  ...  Ed  Rata  jack  wouldn’t  mind  it  so  much  if  he  were  twins.  After 
all,  he  is  doing  two  big  jobs  (AMI  and  MOA),  and  there  is  plenty  to  do  in 
both  camps.  . . . First  Coin’s  Joe  Kline  and  Sam  Kolber  advise  that  the  heav- 
iest activity  these  days  at  First  Coin  is  in  foreign  business.  The  only  problem 
is  latching  on  to  good  used  amusement  and  music  equipment  to  ship  overseas. 
. . . Wico’s  Ed  Ruber  reports  that  he  noticed  a healthier,  happier  business  ouU 
look  and  general  attitude  during  his  recent  nationwide  business  jaunt.  He 
feels  we  are  entering  a strong  business  period  now. 

W.  R.  (Bill)  Weikel,  director  of  sales  for  Fischer  Sales  & Mfg.  Co.,  departed 
last  week  to  help  Si  Redd  celebrate  the  Grand  Opening  of  his  new  distrib  out- 
let in  East  Boston,  Mass.  Bill  tells  us  prexy  Ekald  Fischer  is  feeling  more  like 
his  old  self  again.  . . . United  Mfg’s.  Bill  DeSelm  informs  us  that  the  “Sure- 
Fire”  shuffle  alley  and  “Tip  Top”  bowler  are  very  popular  not  only  in  this 
country  but  overseas  as  well.  Heaviest  foreign  activity  is  now  in  France^ 
where  restrictions  were  recently  lifted  for  amusement  equipment,  according 
to  Bill.  . . . While  visiting  Atlas  Music  during  the  showing  last  Saturday'  we 
observed  the  expertly  arranged  bulletin  board  at  the  entrance  to  the  parts  dept, 
of  miniature  full  color  albums  covers  for  33-1/3  stereo  album  singles  available 
for  operators.  Harold  Schwartz  was  particularly  pleased  with  this  new  Atlas 
feature  for  the  convenience  of  operators.  Prexy  Eddie  Ginsburg,  Nate  Fein- 
stein,  Bill  Phillips,  Gene  Waldman  and  Irv  Ovitz  played  hosts  to  a huge  num- 
ber of  ops  who  dropped  in  last  Saturday  and  Sunday  to  see  the  new  Seeburg 
line  of  phonos. 

Doug  Opitz,  head  of  Wisconsin  Novelty  in  Milwaukee,  recently  acquired 
the  route  operation  of  Kendou,  Inc.  Doug  also  added  the  Kendou  staff  to  his 
organization.  Employees  involved  in  this  change  are  Glenn  Grubb,  Travis 
Welch,  Paul  Nadolny,  Howard  Klabunde  and  Pat  Savasta.  , . , Ted  Rubey  and 
Estell  Bye,  Marvel  Mfg.  Co.,  are  looking  forward  to  seeing  many  of  their  old 
time  coinbiz  chums  who  are  due  in  within  the  next  few  days  for  the  NAAPPB 
conclave.  . . . Don’t  forget  to  pop  over  to  the  Sherman  Hotel  to  view  all  the 
new  equipment  on  display  at  the  big  Parks  Show!

Williams  Ships  1-Plyr. 
"Black  Jack"  Pin 
Principle  Based  On 
"21 " Card  Game 

CHICAGO — Sam  Lewis,  vice-presi- 
dent in  charge  of  sales  for  Williams 
Electronic  Manufacturing  Corpora- 
tion in  this  city,  announced  last  week 
the  release  of  Williams’  new  “Black 
Jack”  single-player  pinball  amuse- 
ment game. 

This  game,  which  features  an  excit- 
ing playing  card  motif,  carries  a con- 
tinuation of  the  firm’s  “Styling  of  the 
60’s”  cabinetry — with  an  illustrated 
playfield  and  light  box. 

An  intriguing  feature  in  “Black 
Jack,”  according  to  Lewis,  is  based  on 
the  fact  that  the  “Dealer’s  Score” 
lights  up  when  the  game  is  over  to 
show  the  player  how  he  fared  in  the 
scoring  against  the  game. 

The  player  tries  to  build  up  a score 
up  to  “21”.  If  the  points  made  exceeds 
“21”  the  player  loses  his  game.  On 
the  other  hand,  if  the  “Dealer’s  Score” 
on  the  backglass  exceeds  “21”  the 
player  wins  even  if  he  is  under  the  21 
point  limit. 

The  “Black  Jack”  can  be  scored  in 
two  ways.  1 — -by  a one  card  score 
build  up;  or,  2 — a skill  shot  in  the  top 
holes  or  center  kickouts. 

In  addition,  “Black  Jack”  has  a 
matching  number  feature.  Matching 
the  last  number  in  the  player’s  score 
with  the  lighted  star  on  the  black- 
glass  earns  a replay. 

Lewis  advised  that  sample  orders 
have  already  been  shipped  to  Wil- 
liams’ distributors  all  over  the  United 
States. 


CALIFORNIA  CUPPINGS 


Much  talk  among  the  operators  and  distributors  along  “coin  machine  row” 
this  week  concerned  itself  with  the  upcoming  Thanksgiving  holiday.  Although 
most  plan  to  get  together  with  relatives  and  friends,  very  few  will  travel  fur- 
ther than  the  L.A.  city  limits,  traffic  conditions  being  what  they  are  in  So. 
Calif,  on  holidays.  . . . At  Leuenhagen’s  “record  bar,”  singer  Jerry  Wallace 
stopped  in  to  spin  his  new  Challenge  Records  outing.  Mary  Solle  states  that 
they  are  looking  forward  to  spending  Thanksgiving  at  home  with  plans  to 
have  a few  friends  over.  . . . Singer  Rusty  Draper,  along  with  Bob  Holladay 
of  Mercury  Records,  dropped  by  with  Rusty’s  current  offering  “Jealous  Heart.” 
. . . Ed  Ruber  with  the  Wico  Corporation  in  Chicago,  in  town  for  several  days 
on  business  and  accompanying  Manny  Glass,  local  Wico  rep,  during  his  regular 
Pico  visit.  . . . Charlie  Daniels,  at  Paul  A.  Laymon’s,  reports  that  Mr.  & Mrs. 
Paul  Laymon  send  word  from  Mexico  that  they  kept  busy  in  Mexico  City  seeing 
all  the  sights  and  are  now  on  their  way  to  Acapulco,  where  they  plan  to  relax 
and  enjoy  the  weather.  Charlie  went  on  to  say  that  business  has  been  good 
the  past  week  with  the  new  Rock-Ola  “Regis”  continuing  to  move  out  at  a fast 
clip.  Don  Peters,  from  the  shop,  going  pheasant  hunting  over  the  week-end  to 
Bishop.  . . . At  Simon  Distributing,  Sonny  Lomberg  informs  the  export  busi- 
ness is  booming  at  Simon’s  with  several  orders  being  shipped  and  more  being 
readied.  Jack  Simon  spending  Thanksgiving  Day  with  Mr.  & Mrs.  Joe  Simon 
in  Chicago,  and  will  attend  the  Park  Show  while  there.  . . . Vinny  Lanzy,  at 
American  Coin  Machine,  states  they  are  very  busy  and  working  overtime  the 
past  week  to  keep  up  with  the  orders.  We  have  a number  of  back  orders,  says 
Vinny,  and  “We  are  constantly  looking  for  good  used  equipment  of  all  types 
to  fill  these  orders.”  ...  At  Badger  Sales,  William  Schrader  going  to  Las  Vegas 
over  the  week-end  for  the  AMI  showing  of  the  Continental  phonograph  at  the 
Stardust  Hotel.  Marshall  Ames  mentioned  that  business  generally  has  been 
moving  at  a good  clip.  . . . Ray  Barry  and  Clayton  Ballard,  at  the  Wurlitzer 
factory  branch,  in  the  Bakersfield  area  visiting  operators  during  the  past  week. 
Ray  also  reports  that  he  is  going  to  the  regional  Wurlitzer  Distributors  meet- 
ing in  Denver,  which  will  also  feature  a showing  of  the  new  Wurlitzer  phono- 
graph. ...  At  California  Music,  Gabe  Orland  back  from  a 10  day  business  trip 
that  took  him  to  Miami,  New  York  and  Chicago.  Gabe  attended  a one-stop 
meeting  in  Chicago,  which  he  says  was  both  “Interesting  and  educational.” 
Gabe  also  mentioned  that  the  weather  in  the  East  was  “pretty  bad.”  Buddy 
Robinson  stated  that  Earl  Grant,  Decca  artist,  stopped  in  to  say  hello  to  the 
gang  at  California.  . . . At  the  Seeburg  Distributing  Co.,  Dean  McMurdie,  See- 
burg  District  Mgr,  informs  that  he  will  be  visiting  the  various  Seeburg  dis- 
tributors in  the  West  during  the  showing  of  the  “Irresistible”  new  Seeburg 
phonograph.  The  showing  of  the  new  model  in  Los  Angeles  has  been  a tre- 
mendous success  with  operators  from  all  over  So.  Cal.  stopping  in,  according 
to  Leo  Simone.  Leo  said  the  comments  from  the  operators  have  been  most 
enthusiastic  with  a surprising  number  of  orders  resulting.  Bob  Alexander,  serv- 
ice department  mgr.,  still  busy  revamping  the  service  department  to  handle 
the  increased  business.  . . . Hank  Tronick,  at  C.  A.  Robinson  & Co.,  reports 
that  business  continues  good  with  the  United  “Bowl-A-Rama”  and  United’s 
UPC-100  phonograph  going  at  a steady  pace.  . . . Some  of  the  visiting  operators 
seen  on  Pico  this  week  were:  Ed  Pharris,  Avenal;  Tex  Nowka,  San  Bernardino; 
Bert  Hammond,  Santa  Ana;  Mr.  & Mrs.  Luchsinger,  Needles;  Lela  Smith, 
Barstow;  Herman  Stauffacker,  San  Bernardino;  Perry  Irwin,  Ventura;  Lee

AMI  compacts  set  new 
standards  of  value 


Any  way  you  judge  them,  the  AMI 
Lyric  and  Continental  lead  the  field.  They 
have  bold,  new  compact  styling  that’s  years 
ahead.  They  have  every  one  of  the  famous 
AMI  amplifier,  mechanism  and  service  features 
for  top  performance.  And,  they  have  price  tags 
that  are  lower  than  ever.  It’s  a potent  combi- 
nation that  is  opening  up  new,  more  profitable 
locations  everywhere.
